How We Met:
We met on Facebook. No, I am not joking! :)
It was the beginning of my sophomore year at Davenport and I was in an
awful relationship, if you can even consider it a relationship. The guy I was
"dating" and I were on a "break" and I was so miserable.
So, I sat down on my bed with my laptop and did a random Facebook search
of all people who had listed that they went to Davenport. I figured that there
had to be better guys at DU. So after creeping on what felt like hundreds
of profiles, I decided to add three guys I thought were cute. Dan was one
of those three.
After my intense creeping session, I strangely felt better and didn't
think another thing about the guys I had asked to be my friend. I know, I'm
pretty lame. Dan was the only one of the three guys to "call me out"
on the random friend request. He sent me a Facebook message asking if we knew
each other and I thought, "Ohhh crap, I'm caught!" I tried my best to
make it sound like I was not the world's biggest creep, but wound up failing
miserably. That conversation led to more Facebook conversations and then to
hours of phone conversations and within a couple of days, Dan had asked me to
hang out. I happily agreed. The first day we met I had to go break up with my
current boyfriend first and later that night Dan and I met at his Dad's house.
We went to Meijer, got apple cider (it was October 2008) and went back and
watched a movie. The night was perfect. Five days later, Halloween 2011, Dan
asked me to officially be his girlfriend while I was painting his nails for the
bride he was going to be that year for Halloween. All a bit ironic now!
Proposal:
My favorite place in the entire world to visit is a private lake house
located in Harbor Springs, MI. On the last day of the week long family
vacation, Dan asked me to take a walk on the beach after eating a delicious
beach-cooked meal. As the sun was setting, I made a comment about how beautiful
the sunset was, Dan stopped walking, let go of my hand, turned toward the water
and agreed. He turned back toward me and said, "It also looks like the
perfect sunset for us to start a new life together". Dan got down on one
knee, pulled the ring out of his pocket, and asked me to marry him. I was
utterly shocked and said yes! It could not have been more special. :) The
picture I attached is a live action shot of the engagement taken from a family
member hiding in the trees!
