We actually met about 22 years ago. We used to live in the same apartment complex and went to the same high school. We would hang out as kids, go to parties and dance booty together (now called twerking), play spin the bottle, and tell ghost stories in a dark parking lot. We were only friends at that time, however, Danny has always had a crush on me... Throughout the years we kept in touch through social media, Danny would often send me a random dm just to say hello... sometimes I would ignore the dm, until I didn't.
I was at a work event and posted a picture of me drinking a mojito and smoking a cigar which Danny quickly saw and caught his attention, he then decided to send me one of those random dms. I was a bit tipsy and decided to respond, after a few messages he invited me on a date, I said yes. We continued to text here and there throughout the week. The following Wednesday I decided to text him to see what he was up to. We agreed to go out that night! We went to Hillstone's in Coral Gables and had dinner and drinks! Sometime between dinner and dessert, the server comes and tells us that we kind of had to leave because the restaurant had already closed. We looked at the room and realized we had been talking for hours, the restaurant was completely empty, we were the only 2 souls there, and we hadn't noticed. At that moment I realized this was the guy I wanted to share my life with. Fun fact: About a week or two before Danny sent me that dm at the work event I was in, I started going through his social media pages. It was weird, I randomly started thinking about him and would go through his pictures, there was something about him that I liked. To my surprise, only a few days later, he randomly contacted me! "The law of attraction is a universal principle that states you will attract into your life whatever you focus on. Whatever you give your energy and attention to is what will come back to you"
Long story short, Danny had the ring in the truck of his patrol car for over a year. The idea was to propose on vacation, but every time we planned one, life happened and we had to cancel each time. Finally, over a year later, we arrived in Cancun to celebrate my birthday. On a windy night on our way to dinner on 9.10.21, Danny suggests that I stand by the pool, near a small cliff, so he can take pictures of me. I thought it was strange and scary, but hey, let's take advantage and snap a few photos. My hair was al over the place, so as I'm fixing it, I turned around, and there he was, on his knee, asking me to marry him!
