Lets take you back to the day before our 4 year friendship turned into a relationship. 6-20-11. Tim and I started our day on his motorcycle. This was probably my second time riding on Tim's motorcycle. Now it was about mid afternoon and we had plans that night to go out to the city. Tim wanted to ride longer and I decided I would go home and start getting ready for our date night! I left him, went home, got ready, about 3-4 hours later he wasn't answering my calls. Im thinking in my head there is no way he is blowing me off. I probably called his phone over 20 times. No answer. Now at this point its about 6p.m. We were suppose to be on the train to the city already. I had this gut feeling like something was not right. I got into my car and starting driving east on the LIE. I got about 3 exits east and my phone rings. Its Tim. He tells me ever so calmly "My cousin got into a car accident. I need you to pick me up from the hospital, I can not ride my bike home. Walk through emergency and ask for me." I said "Are you okay? What is going on?" Tim replied "Everything is fine! Just come now!" So of course I raced to the hospital. At this point I'm shaking cause I knew he was lying. They let me threw emergency and tell me to wait outside of a closed room. When they finally let me in Tim is covered Neck to Toes in sheets. Then he turns a little bit and I notice about a golfball size hole missing out of his neck. I was hysterical crying. Soon after, hearing the doctors scheduling surgery for the next day I knew this was way more serious then Tim was letting on. The next day 6-21-11 was the day of Tims first skin graph surgery. Moments before he was token into surgery, in his hospital bed, he asked me to be his girlfriend! In tears it was a yes! I thought to myself is this really finally happening or did they give him too much pain meds and when he gets out of this hospital we will just be friends again! Well it sure was real! 6-21-11 the day that started it all!
10-17-16 the second day on our cruise vacation. On board this vacation with us was Myles, Mom(Lisa), Erica, Jonathan, Ashley and Qwan. We were headed to Bermuda. This day at sea was a very casual day as we wanted to explore everything the ship had to offer. We did a little gambling, some games and a lot of eating. On the itinerary for that night was our favorite show on Norwegian cruises "Newlyweds and Not so Newlywed Game Show" It was held in the center of the ship at the Atrium. We headed down pretty early to make sure we could get good seats. On our way Tim stops at the bar and takes a shot. That seemed weird to me as we barely drink but at this point I really didn't expect what was coming. We found our seats 1 row back from the stage and we are waiting for the show to start. Tim at this point is sweatinggggg!!!!!! Still not really expecting what to come!!! So the show starts and the cruise director starts by saying they are going to pick a winner from the raffle earlier today. In my head im like okay well we didn't do that raffle. Well what do you no! Tim and Jess win the "raffle". We walk up on stage and the cruise director is holding a bag full of prizes. She pulls out a coffee mug, t-shirts, some other items and then a ring box! Tim takes the ring box and microphone! In my head I am thinking omggggg this is happeninggggg!!!!!!! He gets down on one knee in front of the entire audience and asked me the big Question! Will you marry me? YES! YES! YES!!!!!!!
