On July 6, 2024, we were finishing up caulking and painting around our new baseboards… the most tedious part of redoing flooring. We decided to take a break from the stress and play 9 holes at Maple Valley Golf and Country Club. Of course, I was feeling grumpy and guilty for not staying home to finish up our job. Being the positive half of our relationship, Kevin was trying to cheer me up, saying “let’s have a good time out here” and “we are going to have fun”.

The third hole at Maple Valley is one of our favorite holes and the one with the best view. It is up on a cliff, overlooking the valley and river that runs through the course. It also one of the few holes that I can make it on the green while Kevin slices it waaay to the right 😉

I walked up to the women’s tee and took a swing. When I turned around, Kevin was there on one knee. While I did know a ring was in the picture, but I had no idea when or how he was going to ask! It was the perfect proposal for us, and it instantly turned my grumpy mood upside-down 😊
