How we met...... We met in 2006 when Rebecca moved to Texas. Our daughters, Madison and Samara played together when they were very young. We remained acquaintances for many many years. Almost four years ago, our friendship turned into the start of our story. We blended our families in 2016. The Proposal..... November 1st of 2018, the kids had finished trick or treating around the cruise ship and we were settling in for the night. The kids and Eric were talking very quietly on the top bunks in the room while we were watching a movie. Eric came back with a bite size milky way (one of my favorites) and handed it to me. I didn't eat it right away. I could feel him staring at me waiting for me to eat it. I unwrapped it and as I tried to eat it, I saw this shiny glare come off the mini chocolate piece as I was putting it into my mouth. And there it was, the moment I had been waiting for. Probably the moment we all had been waiting for =) Best cruise day ever!! Love this guy <3
