We met at a local place one night. I was with my friend when we saw Gabe in there sitting with his friends. At the time I had absolutely no idea who he was. I just knew that I wanted to get to know him. I am so glad that I did because after that night we spent many nights talking until the sun came up. He took me on many dates and was a complete gentleman. We didn't make it official for several months later after really getting to know each other. Now flash forward 10 years later and I am so thankful that I ran into this wonderful man on that random week night out. He is my soulmate and my best friend.
I was coming home from a long 12 hour shift at the nursing home. I kinda had a crappy day and was ready to just go to bed. I pulled into the drive way at home and at that time the lights in the house were on. I got out of my car and I opened up the garage door that led to the kitchen and the house was black except for a long trail of candles. That long trail of candles led me to finding Gabe down on one knee with my pup right beside him ( MY TWO FAVORITES). We were both nervous and I was completely shocked. I totally was not expecting anything like that after a long day at work. Of course I said YES. It has been a wonderful 10 years together and we truly are each others best friends. I couldn't imagine doing life without him.
