We met on a chilly Wednesday afternoon when I walked into Straight Blast Gym to take my first Muay Thai class. Pat was the coach assigned to me and that was the first time we met. After the class, we started talking about other hobbies in our lives and realized that we both liked to hike. He offered to show me a trail nearby and I agreed. That ended up becoming our first date. One date turned into two and before we knew it, we were seeing each other all the time. It felt natural and I am so thankful that I walked into the gym that evening.

We woke up and stayed in bed like we do every Sunday. We love mornings when we can just stay in bed, cuddle and talk about our future plans, our relationship and how blessed we feel to have each other. So it was just a normal morning... or at least that's what I thought. After talking about how happy we were, Pat stepped out of bed. I thought he wanted to go start breakfast so I wasn't paying attention. But when I turned around to look at him, he was on one knee with a gorgeous ring in his hand asking me to marry him. It was such an intimate and perfect moment and I said yes with all my heart. The happiest and the most important YES of my life.
