We met at Food Lion where we worked together for a year and a half. On the day I interviewed, I was leaving the break room and Alex had just clocked in and was putting his stuff away in a locker when I met him for the first time. We got to know each other by hanging out after work, and many nights we wouldn't go home until the store was opening back up. Our first date was to Denny's late one night after Alex got off from work. We spent a lot of time wandering around empty shopping malls and parking lots, just talking and getting to know each other.

We took a weekend trip to Pittsburgh to celebrate our 3 year anniversary! After a fun filled day exploring the city, we returned to our Airbnb to enjoy dinner on the balcony. As the sun was setting across the city, we were finishing up dinner and Alex asked me to stand with him and look at the view of the city. After a few moments I turn to look at him and I see him getting down on one knee and asking me to marry him. I breathed a yes and the rest is history!
