It was a year post-Covid and we had missed a few vacations. We were overdue and we were going to do it big! Turks and Caicos was the spot - Brad gathered all the courage he had, got the blessing, got the ring and a little fanny pack to carry it around inconspicuously, which was not so inconspicuous and looked ridiculous. It was 2/22/22 which may be a bit cheesy but, we like it. We booked a fancy dinner that we were both too tired and sunkissed from the day to enjoy and right when we were about ready to go, Brad awkwardly got on a knee and popped the question. Kristen awkwardly thanked Brad over and over but, eventually said yes, and we were engaged! Brad thought he was off the hook but, Kristen had other plans and adopted our rescue, Winnie, the very next day and we started our little family.
