We met working at a in-home care service for children with special needs. I remember knocking on the door for an interview and Jessie peeked around the corner to see who it was. I remember having an instant crush. He thought of me as a coworker at first, while I crushed. He asked me out on Valentines Day 2014 while cleaning up after an emema! I was quick to accept. When we met, he has orange roses at hand and the rest is history.

We were in Hawaii for his older brothers wedding. We decided to take a tour of the jungle; we saw flowers, waterfalls and a beautiful Macaw named Apache. At the waterfall at the end, he told me that he couldn't imagine being there with anyone else but me. He went down on one knee and asked me if I would be his wife. We were both nervous and shaking, it was a beautiful moment, mosquito bites and all.
