We met at work, it was during March Madness and I noticed he had a Wildcat as the background on his phone. Of course I am a die hard Jayhawk so I had to change the background. We started talking and he came all the way to Lawrence that night, we watched Fuller House and had Chilis take out. I requested that he bring Shay just in case I did not like him (Safety precaution). Devan asked me to marry him the very first night and I fell completely in love with Shay. One week later he asked me to be his girlfriend on a candy wrapper and the rest is history.

Devan showed up to his former work place with the most beautiful roses. He told me that we were going on a date that night, we went to Fogo De Chao, I had a feeling he was going to propose so I was very nervous. Devan didn't eat much and I found out later he was just as nervous as I was. We walked around the plaza and I ended up barefoot because my shoes were not comfortable. He told me we were going to look at Christmas lights, we ended up on a bridge. He did a very good job of throwing me off his trail by saying we were in the wrong spot, this wasn't where he was wanted to be. All of a sudden, I saw a dog, "Oh look a dog.... Wait that's our dog" I turned around and Devan was down on one knee. Devan's speech was completely him, "I was going to write something but I knew I would mess it up. So I just want to say I love you forever and I'm keeping you forever." about 10 seconds later "Oh will you marry me?" of course I said yes.

Devan and I decided to go to Vegas for Christmas to surprise his two nieces. We went out to lunch and had the most amazing King Crab Risotto and Garlic mashed potatoes. After walking around for a couple hours we decided to watch the Fountain Show at the Bellagio. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around and Devan was on his knee to propose again. I couldn't tell you what he said because it was a double surprise on his part because his family was walking towards us. His nieces had no idea we were going to be there so it was a huge surprise for them too. Of course I said yes to whatever it was that he said.
