Emily asked Eric to plan something for their 4th dating anniversary (she was not so secretly hoping he'd use this opportunity to propose). The morning of April 6th, 2024, Eric woke Emily up with a note saying how excited he was for the day - but first, Emily needed to get her nails done with her mom!

After their nails were done, Emily's mom dropped her off at a restaurant where her friend Brittany (and her squishy newborn baby Seth) were waiting to have lunch with her. Brittany handed Emily another note from Eric - this one said to enjoy lunch with her best friend, and then they would go shopping for a new outfit to wear! Emily was thrilled with this plan, because she didn't have to panic about what to wear that morning.

Adorned with a new outfit, Emily was picked up by Eric for their next activity - getting ice cream with her mom, sisters, and niece! After finishing their ice cream, Emily's niece gave her another note - this one had a riddle about where we were going next!

They all arrived at the Line Creek Trail with the intention of riding the train there. Turns out there was a private birthday party there that day, so they did not ride the train, but they did get to play at the park! After playing with her niece for a bit, Eric gave Emily another note - they snuck off to the trail to take a walk together.

A ways down the trail, Eric made up a story about seeing a giant rabbit as an excuse to step off the trail. He said some very sweet things, asked Emily to be his wife, and she said yes! Another couple on the trail hurried toward us to ask "Do you kids want a picture?" Eric and Emily walked back to where her family was waiting, exchanged hugs, and then headed to The Melting Pot for a romantic dinner.
