John and I met at Florida Hospital Altamonte. I was a nursing student at the time and John was a Registered Nurse finishing up his graduate nurse orientation on the Intensive Care Unit. I volunteered to float up to the unit for the day to observe the ICU and I found out later John volunteered to pick up that day. During the morning huddle I noticed this very cute guy staring at me but I didn't think anything of it. During the shift the nursing preceptor I was following left the floor to get coffee and while she was gone one of her patients began to alarm and was shouting down the hallway. As I went to investigate, the cute nurse from the morning beat me to the room and I watched as he calmed this very sick patient down. I later bumped into the cute nurse again in the medication room and I introduced myself and found out his name was John. As I left the unit that day John smiled at me, and I had a feeling this was not just a chance encounter. I embarrassingly enough facebook stalked John and sent him a message. John took me on our first date to an Italian restaurant overlooking Cranes Roost Park called Cafe Murano. After dinner John asked me to grab a coffee with him and walk around the lake and the rest is history!

In September of 2016 we decided to take a bucket list trip to Ireland. John proposed in one of the most beautiful places we had ever traveled to, the Cliff's of Moher. The day leading up to the proposal John was acting a bit funny and refused to take his backpack off. I was completely oblivious and just thought he was nervous about our passports and documents in the backpack. As we arrived to the Cliff's of Moher John pulled me to the right and we hiked down a path that was labeled, "Do Not Enter!" I was skeptical at first but followed him around the sign and we hiked down to a clearing on the cliff's. John asked a nearby couple hiking down the path to take a picture of us and as they did the sun came out from behind the clouds. As I went to step away, John asked the couple to take a second picture and he dropped down to his knee and asked me to be his wife. I will never forget that day and they way I felt looking at the love of my life asking me to spend forever with him.
