Tying the Knot

We met for the first time at the corner of Sheffield and Addison, right next to the Ron Santo statue. We had been talking for several weeks, and I finally convinced her to come to a Cubs game. Considering I knew that Kristi was a Sox fan, this was going to be our first hurdle to overcome. After talking throughout the whole game from the 5th row (completely out of character for me not to be screaming at the game), I knew this was someone I wanted to spend more time with. So I promptly invited her to the game the following night! The rest is history.

After carrying around an engagement ring in my backpack for four straight days at Disney World (debatably the most nerve-wracking time of my life), and time after time, being denied the proper moment, I had to come up with a back-up plan to "pop the question". I smartly took an extra vacation day, so while Kristi was at work, I hung the ring on our first Christmas tree. After a 30+ minute game of hot and cold, we were engaged. We are so lucky to have all the support of our friends and family, and can't wait to celebrate with everyone!
