We met the old fashion way, via the dating apps LOL. Our first meet up we went for a nature walk at the Marina and grabbed coffee afterwards. We talked about traveling, health and fitness, and the 18 years Bowman spent living in Russia. Yea, mind-blowing right? We ended up window shopping at a department store with our coffees in tow. Bowman asked when he would see me again and I told him to "text me" and we never stopped texting.
On Christmas Eve, our first Christmas together, Bowman and I wore matching PJ's. Onesies to be exact. We watched Christmas movies and sipped our favorite red wine. The next morning he was up before me (as usual), near our Christmas tree, waiting to open presents. I joined him in the living room and we began exchanging gifts. When we finished opening presents and as I was discarding the wrappings, I turned around to see Bowman down on one knee with a ring box! He asked me to be his wife and placed the beautiful princess cut diamond on my finger. His hands were shaking as he did so lol. Of course I said "yes!" We hugged, kissed, and I wiped a tear from my eye. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives together and with you. See you in Gilroy!
