Trevor and I met years prior to us dating. His cousin, Courtney, used to babysit me and he always seemed to make his way over to the house. As many of you know, Trevor is a handyman in which he completed many projects for my parents. I placed him in the friend zone during our school years and he never seemed to have any objections. When I came home from college we both attended a graduation party and Courtney encouraged him to ask me out. Well, we went to a movie and really never stopped hanging out after that. At the time, I still wasn't ready to date anyone and actually created a "to-date-me" application/interview in which Trevor gladly listened and completed. We were driving home one night from Olive Garden and Trevor pulled the car over to help someone that had broken down on the side of the road. He made me get out and help him push the vehicle up a hill, not an easy task in heels. Oddly enough, I asked Trevor to be my boyfriend in the middle of pushing this car because I realized how difficult it was to find a man with his genuine kindness and love for others. From that day on, the rest has been history!

Trevor was very adamant that we take our dogs to McCloud Nature Park in North Salem on March 27th. I really didn't understand why we couldn't walk the dogs in a park 5 minutes from home vs a park 45 minutes away. He literally would not give up this idea despite me telling him I didn't want to go. When we finally made it to the park and began hiking he wanted to stop for pictures. He put a dress on Zoie and a Tux on Solo, that is what gave it away. I wasn't sure he was ready because he could barely speak, but I said yes! Little did I know he was planning multiple ideas for over a year and he finally just decided to keep it simple and do something we loved--hiking with our dogs.
