In September of 2010 I went to work friends house to hang out with a couple of my work buddies. While there I met this funny, attractive man named Bob and I was instantly interested. However after spending several hours talking and getting to know one another, he said "It was nice to meet you Amber". I wasn't happy about that, after hours of talking he didn't even remember my name? I snidely remarked back "Amber? My name is not Amber" and walked away. Needless to say Bob was a little embarrassed and didn't say a word to me for the rest of the night. After he left however he was still thinking about me, he wanted to get to know me better, and was upset that he might have blown his only chance with me. He texted his ex-girlfriend who was still at the house with me and asked her if she could give him my number. After Tiffanie asked my permission, she sent him my number and he immediately texted me asking if he could take me on a date to make it up to me. I was still slightly smitten with him so I agreed and he began planning a date. A couple days later however a group of work friends was planning a trip to Wendover to celebrate Tiffanie's birthday, and Bob and I were both invited. We ended up spending the entire night hanging out with each other and talking (not doing anything inappropriate, I'm not that kind of girl!) It didn't take long for me to realize I was already falling for him. A couple days later we had our first (planned) date. We spent the entire day at lagoon, then went to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory before going to a concert together. It ended up being a 16 hour date, the longest I've ever had by far, and the best date as well. Since that day we have been attached by the hip. We went to a couple jazz games, went on some dinner and movie dates, saw Kate Nash in concert, went on vacation to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday, spent time outdoors camping and hiking, and even jumped out of a plane together. The more time we spent together the more we loved each other. In August 2011, We moved in together, just the two of us, and of course our many pets. Life was so blissful together, we couldn't imagine life any other way. On February 15th 2012, Bob asked me to dress up because he was taking me to a late Valentine's Day dinner (We both had to work the night before) Bob took me to Carver's, and we gorged ourselves on steak, and wine. It was wonderful. Just when I thought it couldn't get much better, Bob started giving me the speech about how he couldn't imagine life without me, and how excited he was to share the rest of his life with me. Then he got down on one knee and asked the question I had been waiting to hear "Will you marry me?" I think I probably said yes around fifty times as he tried to slip the ring on my trembling hands. I was so excited I didn't care that the whole restraunt was turned around in their seats staring and clapping. All through desert I could see people turning and pointing at our table, and some of them even congratulated us as they left. I was so excited! Afterward we went to both families houses to share the good news. I'm so madly in love with Bob, He is my best friend, and my rock. I'm so excited to marry him, and to share the moment with all the people we love and hold dear.
