It was New Year’s Eve and we had both our families gathered. Passing along the time playing silly games with the kids we had convinced Karen to go next. As the blind fold was placed on her Markie quickly prepared himself as the clock counted down to midnight. The family was cheering and Karen thought she was killing it (because she was). As she removed her blindfold Marissa (Markie’s sister) handed Karen Chuggy with his bandana that read “will you marry my daddy”. Still oblivious she started counting down with the family, Markie tapped her shoulder where she turned around to see him down on one knee. It was the perfect start to the year surrounded by our families.
