We had known each other for a few years prior to dating through a mutual friend. After a day on the slopes for a friend's birthday weekend, a night of dancing at the Burren, and a rock climbing session on Valentine's day ... we officially went on our first date! Since then, we have traveled to many countries, tasted all the beers and acquired a few kitty friends.
In the bleak year 2020, we've spent a LOT of time at home. We finally made plans for a short getaway to Acadia National Park in Maine back in mid-September. Rob suggested that we get up early to watch the sunrise at the top of Cadillac Mountain. He is NOT a morning person so Sam had her suspicions... and he proposed as the sun rose over the ocean as a symbol for the start of the next chapter in our adventure together. We then promptly went home for a nap before celebrating the rest of the day. :)
