We met at one of our wonderful mutual friend's house for a birthday party. We both were from Cville, and attended JMU at different times, and had never met before that night. A few days later he asked me out for drinks, and we made it official on Christmas Eve Eve - that holiday was one for the history books!
Daffodils are my favorite flower, the first real sign of spring, and always bloom around my birthday. My grandmother's farm has a hill where a sea of daffodils bloom, and each year we go up and pick as many as we can. On March 31st, after we picked so many daffodils, David asked me to take a walk to the garden. He handed me a bouquet of daffodils he had gathered, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him. I remember asking, 'did I say yes yet?!' It was the best day of my life!
