We met a few months after he moved in next door to me. We would always speak when we saw each other; everytime he would see me coming home from anywhere he would make point to sit up and speak to me. One day after I had just got back to work (I work for the schools and I'm off during the summer) he and a friend of his offered me a ride to the gas station but I was already there pretty much. That same day once I got home I laughed about it with my mom and a friend of his and I thought that was the end of it but it wasn't. What I didn't know was his friend had told him about the conversation we had. Fast forward to the next day I got off work and his friend told me that he would be there after he got off work. I went about my day and a few hours later Riley came and told me "Mom the neighbor is looking for you". I went outside and we were just making casual conversation and we shot basketball with my son for a little while. We then were just sitting on the porch and getting to know each other and decided we would give it a try and see where this takes us..... and here we are #FInallyManns
The proposal really wasn't that spectacular, more of a matter or fact conversation. By this time we had been together for about 4 months and we were watching tv at his house. He looked at me and asked me " Your mom would be upset if we just went downtown and got married wouldn't she", I said "Only if we didn't include her in it'. Then he said well let's do it.
