Here 's the back story of how we got engaged! Leading up to the 4th of July weekend Blake had me very excited for a Chicago White Sox game on July 17th, 2021. My family and his family were all going, leading me to be suspicious and think he was likely going to propose that day. July 3, 2021 rolls around and we are at his usual family gathering for fireworks and all of a sudden he was proposing early! My whole family was even there to surprise me, when I had thought they were at the lake. The whole entire White Sox game plan was just to throw me off and not suspect the 4th of July weekend anymore! It was a wonderful evening with both our close family and friends!
