Joseph and I met while both attending the University at Albany. One night, my friends suggested going to a party downtown, which happened to be at Joe's house. The first words he ever said to me were, "be my beer-ball partner!” The rest is history.
Joe spent the day planting sunflowers (my favorite flower) in a field of grass by our apartment. He told me we were going to dinner, and that he would drive. But, instead of driving to the restaurant, he drove to the proposal spot. We got out of the car, walked to the flowers, and Joe got down on one knee!
