We met at our Summer Job during the training week. We ate lunch during our breaks with some other close friends. Jake asked me out at the End of Summer Party where he tried to subtly get me away from the crowd of people I was in, but I couldn't take the hint and refused to get up from the floor where I was sitting. He ended up asking me out in front of all of our coworkers and things went from there.

On our "Kiss-iversary", Jake wanted to go to Eben G, the park that we work at and met. Jake wanted to do something special for the first time we had kissed. Jake says he picked that day instead of our one year because I always tell him that that was when I started falling in love with him. Before he kissed me, he asked for permission. I had never had anyone ask for permission before kissing me and his kindness and thoughtfulness made me instantly start falling for him. He figured the park and day where it happened would be perfect! We got to the park and sat under the exact tree we had our first kiss. He pulled out his phone to take a video and that's when I knew for sure that he was going to propose. He pulled out the ring and held it in the camera view and waited for me to notice. I said "I knew it," and that's when he stopped the video and got on one knee and asked me to Marry Him. Jake likes to say that I still haven't said yes yet because my response to his question was, "You're stupid." I then almost knocked him over hugging and kissing him.
