We originally met back in high school. We were both student athletes so we had similar friends. Ricky is a year older, when he went off to college we lost touch. Until about two years later when he reached out to me on social media to see how I was doing. That is when our new story began.

I was just finishing up my Senior internship for teaching, and it was a Friday afternoon leading into our Thanksgiving Holiday. Ricky called me and said we needed to talk, so I went outside "to talk". I was oblivious to what was happening and went to try and get the mail instead of talking, little did I know that my dad was in the bushes to catch the moment and my mom was video taping from the window. When I finally went to Ricky standing on the driveway that is when it all happened. I was shocked and was definitely not expecting it.
