We met back at the Academy in 2018. The timing for us wasn't right then, but as time went on, we began to message more, and the conversations became more frequent. Things finally lined up, one August afternoon he asked me to go get dinner with him one night after work.
After dating for a few months in 2019, work pulled us in different directions. We stayed in touch as much as we could, but life just pulled us apart. Fast forward a couple years and I got a notification that he was someone I might know on Instagram. Naturally I waited a little over a week and when I didn't hear from him, I sent him a Message. We picked up right where we left off and the rest is history.
He planned a date at Old Chicago, but the wait was 45 minutes, so we decided to go somewhere else. We ended up at Big City Pizza in Hamburg. After getting our pizza, he asked me a question about our relationship, that made me worry he was second guessing us, then he pulled the ring out and asked me!
