After a friend request in early November (Thanks Buck!), to trying to contact me via wrong phone number (good job babe) the odds were finally in our favor to meet for our first date. Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl 2013. A few drinks later and it was like we had known each other for a lifetime. The week followed with celebrating our "first" Christmas together. My father stole the show with him on our 4th date and I knew it was going to be something wonderful.

A weekend getaway to Nashville for a wonderful truck pull ( hint the sarcasm) turned out to be the best weekend of my life. Unbeknownst to me, Patrick had arranged the proposal, telling my parents, family and his closest friends this would be the weekend he would get down on one knee. During a wonderful dinner, Patrick left the table and the waiter came to clean the table for dessert and left me a note, instructing me to not take too long. Looking around trying to figure out what it was, I opened the paper to a sweet note telling me not to take too long to answer the question and to turn around. Patrick was behind me on one knee with the most beautiful ring I have seen and asked if I would be his wife. All the time, Morgan was video tapping my response. Obviously I think we know what my answer was ;)
