I had dinner on a Wednesday night at Will's house with Will and Brett. Will's house is just down the street from my house and Brett was cooking. Will and I were unaware that Brett had invited some ladies over to join dinner--one of them was Maja. Maja and I immediately hit it off. It was a great night filled with enjoying food with good friends, playing cards and dice games, and laughter. Maja and I have basically been inseparable ever since.

I took Maja to dinner at Livery in downtown Indianapolis on a Saturday night. We had been one time before and really liked it. The restaurant has an awesome roof top patio with seating and Maja really wanted to sit up there, so we did. I had called the day before (Maja did not know) and told them I was going to propose. They were very excited and said they would help. I decided to wear cargo shorts so I could hide the ring box in my pocket. Maja and I sat at the bar for an hour while we waited for a table to open up. I let her sit on the wrong side of me, the side with the ring in the pocket, and she almost immediately put her hand right on it. I had to go to the bathroom and switch it over! Dinner was awesome, the night was perfect. Dessert was the cue. When it was brought out, our server was ready to snap some photos. Maja cried and I couldn't understand what she was saying. I don't think she was speaking English. I finally got her to say yes after asking three times for a clear answer!
