We are both runners and would often "run" into each other in the neighborhood. My Weimaraner, Kelty, was my running buddy and she would always try to pull me in his direction. Of course, Alberto is a dog lover and Kelty could sense that. Dogs have discerning taste and she approved long before we knew what would be. One day I finally let Kelty say 'hi' and the rest is history!

We were on a trip in New Orleans with four other couples, one of which was my older brother, Kyle and my sister-in-law, Shana. We were getting ready for a nice dinner on our last night of the trip. In my typical female fashion, I asked if what I was wearing looked good. He said that "it would look better with..." and pulled out the ring, got down on his knee, and asked me to marry him! It was private and perfect. We sauntered in to the restaurant to meet our friends/family and waved my left hand in excitement. We celebrated the rest of the night!
