To get the full effect, we have to go back to the last week of November in 2021. Megan had been decorating the house for Christmas, which obviously means hanging snowflake ornaments by thumbtack all the way along the stairwell. She made the mistake of doing this in fuzzy socks on carpeted stairs, and took a tumble that resulted in a severe ankle sprain. How does this relate to the proposal story? Glad you asked. Later that week, Jeremy had purchased the ring and hid it in their home. Megan knew something was happening, but due to her injury she couldn’t freely snoop around the house! Their best friends came into town for a pre-Christmas celebration (likely story 🤔) the following weekend, and went to a Christmas tree farm as an activity for their 2 and 1/2 year old niece. As they wandered the tree farm, it started to rain -typical Washington weather- and Jeremy went up to Megan and said “come look at this cool rock I found!”. Anyone who knows Jeremy knows he loves and collects rocks, so of course the rock connoisseur finds something interesting at a tree farm! Megan rounded the corner of a big Christmas tree, in the rain, and found Jeremy down on one knee! A cool rock, indeed! 🥰
