Frank and I met how a lot of modern couples meet these days; Online. We went out on a couple casual dates, and they were fun, but I genuinely couldn't tell if Frank was even interested in me. After our 2nd date, he told me he was going to be gone for about 3 weeks visiting his family in Florida, and New York. I thought maybe we'd end up not talking after that, but we ended up chatting almost all day, every day while he was gone.

In his last week away, he sent a text that let me know he was definitely interested.

"You can say no, but do you want to go up north with me when I get home?"

I figured he probably wasn't going to murder me in the woods, and I hadn't had a vacation in a long time, so I said yes, and up north we went! After that we just started spending all of our free time together.

We finally decided, after about a year, that we were sick of traveling back and forth all the time and that we wanted to move in together.

We bought a house in Burton, sold my house in Fowlerville, and moved all my stuff to a storage unit until

we could get the keys! Best decision ever, btw.

I had bought tickets to a show that I was INCREDIBLY excited about. Music, and especially live music, is very important to both of us. I had been waiting years to see this artist live, so I knew it was already going to be an amazing and emotional night, but little did I know, Frank had a huge surprise planned.

We had the best time and as we were walking out to the car, goofing around in the rain, I started to ask him if he could "Hurry up, so we could go get Taco Bell" as is tradition.

Frank said "What if I could make the night even better?" and I turned around to Frank on his knee, with a ring in his hand.

I cried a whole bunch, instead of saying yes, and kissed his face and just shook my head. It was the best night of my life.
