Dylan and I have known each other since we were in seventh grade. I only knew him as the kid that always wore a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey that was way too big for him. However, we came to each other's attention when I bumped into him at a Wawa when we were in high school. We started dating halfway through our senior year. Dylan was accepted at the University of Pittsburgh (H2P) and I was born to be a UConn Husky. So, we dated long distance for most of our relationship. We took planes, trains, buses and cars to see each other at least once a month for six years.
Dylan planned a trip for me as a "graduation present" after I finished my Master's program. After three wonderful days in sunny Florida, we had dinner overlooking the ocean at sunset. As I'm admiring the view, Dylan gets down on one knee, I notice he's not beside me, I look down, I immediately start to cry and say "YES OF COURSE!" We're so excited to begin this chapter of our lives together. See you in New Jersey!
