John & I met outside of what would become our favorite pastime activity together, karaoke.

As most people know, I do not do surprises very well but somehow John was able to pull it off without me having a clue! John planned a walk in Patterson Park, to include a little play time with Saban, definitely not out of the ordinary for this bunch. We walked around the park and made our way to an open field we had played fetch with Saban many times throughout our relationship. If anyone knows me, I hate being late, often rushing myself and John out the door every time we have plans. It was no different this day because we had dinner reservations and I was mentally trying to get playtime finished so that we didn't miss our reservation. As I was chatting with John about dinner and how we needed to leave soon, he pulled me closer and said he had something he really needed to ask me. There were so many beautiful words shared and in that moment, John got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. He even asked Saban if he'd be ok with him being his fur dad (immediate tears) and if anyone knows Saban, you know he might as well be my child lol. We have made so many memories at this park and when he asked me to marry him, every single one of them rushed through me with tears and laughter I'll never forget. It was in that moment that we both knew, this was the start of our forever!
