Ever the romantic, we decided to meet up in person for dinner at a restaurant in Ryan's apartment building... real classy move by him. He also really dressed to impress with a stained white t-shirt and purple basketball shorts, and Ally never lets him forget it. It's a good thing he was funny because, by the next day, Ally had texted to make plans with Ryan again, and again, and again.

Ally came up with a great date idea to go on a walking ghost tour of the Saint Anthony Main area. Thinking it would be a cool and ~-spooky-~ walking tour outside of the building, we were SPOOKED to find out that a majority of the tour was inside the hot smelly basement of the building. Ryan thinks the ghost sounds were just the old appliances but Ally not so secretly wants to go again.

Picture it, $18 long islands in downtown Minneapolis followed by a 45 minute basketball scrimmage. Sounds like every girls dream, doesn't it? At least he paid (the scrimmage was free).

A Spongebob themed birthday party involving the whole family. Ryan shocked Ally by enlisting her best friend, Charlie, to help with the proposal of a lifetime...though she completely missed it. Charlie wore a custom bandana requesting Ally's hand in marriage and all Ally did was go in for the pets. After being prompted by multiple members of her family to "look again", Ally read Charlie's bandana and reluctantly accepted Ryan's proposal. And here we are!
