We met in Northeast at Mayslacks Bar. Kara was sober cabbing for one of her friends for his birthday. Joe was there celebrating for the same friends birthday. We did not know each other before this day, but after the entire evening of making excuses to be next to each other and make small talk. We exchanged numbers and decided to hang out the next day or so. Our first date was just a coffee shop and just driving around talking. After that first date it was official and we have spent most days together.
We went on a week long vacation to The Florida Keys with Kara's family. While we were on vacation we ended up going to a cute little jewelry store and found Kara's perfect ring. While we were playing mini golf on the final night of vacation. Kara said if she won she would get her ring right then and there. After the bet, Kara was very confident and got a hole in 1 on a par 3, but that only lasted for that one hole. Kara did not up winning the game, but Joe still got down on one knee and popped the question. A wonderful way to end an amazing vacation.
