Alex and I met on our first day at our job Sky Zone Trampoline Park, at orientation. Alex had just moved from Florida to Colorado, I had just gotten my first real job. After almost a year we became best friend, shortly after, Alex missed his friends and his old high school so he decided to move back to Florida to finish out his senior year. Once he moved back for college, we reconnected, and became best friends shortly after he came back. Once we had come back together, we realized our feelings for each other, I wasn't ready for any type of serious relationship. We had gone our separate ways for about two years. We mutually reconnected summer of 2021, and have been in a relationship since, which has been magical!
When this happened, I was just coming home from work and came home to him at the door with a squish mellow (stuffed animal) and an assortment of chocolates! Since it was so close to Valentines day, he asked me to be his valentine first and of course I accepted. I went to look at the stuffed animal and then decided to look at the assortments of chocolate, inside was the ring! He got down on one knee, and popped the question! I immediately said yes and we spent the rest of the night in newly engaged bliss!
