As a lot of modern couples have, we met on a dating app. Gary messaged me first and we talked for a few weeks. We finally decided to meet for an early dinner at Gino’s. Gary lived in Tulsa and I was very impressed that he would drive all the way to Muskogee for ME! He got to the restaurant first, and they tried to seat him with someone else! He thought he was catfished! But, I showed up and when I first saw him I remember thinking “yep, he’s the one!” We had dinner and he drove me around for hours. We saw the sunset and Christmas lights - 2 of my favorite things. Since that night, our love just continues to grow!
We rented a cabin in Eureka Springs. It is beautiful there! On New Year’s Eve we went to a little restaurant called Ermilio’s. I was excited about this restaurant because they had gluten free options! It was kind of exclusive because if you don’t get there early and get on the list, you may have to wait or not get in at all! Ermilio’s was wonderful and we had an unforgettable experience there. We got back to the cabin and watched the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and at midnight, before he kissed me, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!
