One day I was scrolling through Bumble... yes I know!!.. but I was scrolling and I remember seeing Gregs profile and thinking oh I hope we match. Little did I know Greg was visiting for the weekend and wasnt supposed to be on the dating website! We ended up matching and speaking on a Saturday morning. We were both so excited that we matched and then we started conversation. Our conversation was so easy and natural. We texted all day and we were both so excited at every message! He ended up asking if we could grab coffee the next day, which worked out so perfectly since we both had plans that afternoon down in the Simi/Moorpark area and I already had a sitter.

We ended up meeting at Starbucks and I remember walking up to him and he gave me the BIGGEST hug, picked me up and held me type of hug. That hug was the start, it made the whole coffee date comfortable with the best start! Our conversation just flowed, even to the point of not hearing our coffee was ready and us sitting there wondering where it was! Our date ended and Greg asked me to go on date 1.5 that night. I was so excited to see him again a few hours later!

He ended up picking me up and taking me to Dave and Busters. Lets just say, I kicked his ASS at all the games! And no he didnt let me win! After this date we both knew that this was it and we were committed to each other. We said goodnight and I remember driving home from my best friends thinking this was different.

While Greg was living in Arizona we talked as much as we could. Over the next couple weeks we FaceTimed every night and truly got to know each other. He came out and visited again 2 weeks later for Fathers Day. This visit changed the course of our relationship. This vacation I knew I was falling in love with him and that he was it.

The I love yous.... well lets just say he took his time with this! We continued talking every day, building our relationship. He would try to visit one weekend a month. About 4 months in I was dropping him off at the airport as he was leaving I told him goodbye, and I threw out I love you. He just walked away, and all of a sudden my door was ripped back open and he was like, what did you just say to me??? So I repeated, I love you! And this guy... he DID NOT tell me back!!!! As months go by he knows I love him, but nope still nothing from him!

So then comes Christmas Eve, we are with our families celebrating. We take family pictures before we let the kids open their gifts, so I am getting our family of 5 together and situated and he is taking FOREVER!!! So me and the kids go about our way and take some pictures. He finally walks over and we take our pictures, me just so beyond happy to have all 3 of our kids with us! And then he drops to that knee and my mouth drops! He asks me to marry him! And he FINALLY tells me he loves me!!! With those words he officially made me the happiest I have ever been! And now the rest is history!!
