It was 2013 around spring time. I (Shanda) was hanging at a friends house, and much to my luck Ryan comes over. We had seen eachother a few times but only for a short time. When he walked through the door I knew there was something special about him. We were both shy so it took us a while to talk, but we ended up hitting if off real quick! Later on he told me that he didn't actually know my name... It's not his fault though, nobody ever uses my real name! A little over a month of hanging out and he asks me to be his girlfriend! I said yes, obviously. April 27, 2013 is the day we got together. Now, almost 6 years later we are engaged! August 10, 2018 he finally decided that he can put up with me forever or is it the other way around?! There was something about August 10th that just seemed so special, Ryan was home during the day (please write it on a calendar) it was beautiful and just a great day! He wanted to go for a walk on our land, since we have about 10 acres. He takes me to the top of the field and gets down on his knees, so I say "what are you doing?" And he just laughs, then I turned around and played with the dogs and when I looked at him again he was on one knee, holding a beautiful ring and he asked me if I would be his wife and of course my answer was YES! And also "when the bleep did you have time to go to Perrywinkles?! Lol I know I couldn't be happier to have met such an amazing man. I can't wait to marry him!
