Date of the Proposal: November 23, 2022

How Blaze Proposed: It was the day before Thanksgiving & we were hanging out with my family at my mom's house. Most of my family was there, my mom + Glen (my step-dad), my grandparents (Mimi + Papi) & Glen's father (Grampa B). I kind of had a feeling Blaze was up to something, since usually we are always together. So when Blaze told me he had to go 'somewhere' & I wasn't allowed to come, I questioned him because usually I always go with him, so when he smirked & said "you'll see/understand why you can't come." He also was asking me about my ring size, so I just put two & two together. I didn't know how he was going to do it, I just knew it was going to be coming soon. So later that night, we were all sitting outback at my mom's house. I was crocheting another blanket for a Christmas gift for Blaze's nephew and when I walked away to go get a drink from inside, Blaze & my mom where discussing how Blaze should propose. Blaze ended up putting the ring inside the ball of yarn that I was crocheting with. As I come back outside, my mom wanted me to "show her" what kind of crochet pattern I was doing (my mom was the one who taught me how to crochet during COVID) so I was happy to show her! As I kept crocheting, my ball of yarn kept rolling onto the ground & my mom kept picking it up/telling me that I was going to get my yarn all dirty (I still didn't know that the ring was in the yarn, lol). A few minutes later, my step-dad goes, "Where did Blaze go?" & then all of a sudden, Blaze came in the side screen door with a dozen roses in his hand, & said to me "hey, I think there's something sticking out of your yarn-ball." I finally saw the ring & Blaze got down on one knee & asked me "if I could make him the happiest man alive + if I would marry him?" & of course I said, YES!

(We ended up laughing about how I kept rolling the ball of yarn onto the ground & as to why my mom kept picking it up/telling me to stop rolling it on the ground; because the ring was in the ball + didn't want me to scratch up ring.)
