We met at a Cinco de Mayo party one of our good friends was hosting. There was an obvious connection that night, but it took us another year to realize it.

On Thanksgiving, we went up to his grandma's house to be with his family. Right before dinner, we took our dog on a walk down the hill. I threw the bone to Roo three times while Zach was on one knee, waiting patiently. I finally said, "It's too cold, I think Roo is ready to go in." When I turned around, Zach was on one knee saying, "I know I'm ready." After a big "YES!", he surprised me even more by bringing my family up to celebrate with his family.
