We met in a private school formerly known as KLD youth foundation, I was 11 and he was 12. It all started as best friends, we went through all middle and high school together going on with our different walks of life, there were always feelings there, just had to wait for the right time.
Fast forward to Senior year, Joe worked at the McDonalds in Cocoa Beach and low and behold I got the same job working at the same store. Everyday Joe and I worked together he would wait until I got off my shift at 11pm and would walk me to my car, never missed a beat. One night as he was walking me to my car, I made the first move and tried to kiss him, he got nervous and turned his head. He asked me “What was that?” My response was “You will have to figure that one out”. This was the start of “Us”. Through so many years we overcame hurdles and grew together and learned what life was all about. He was there through my struggles as I was there for him, through all our travels and adventures we grew to become one.
On June 22, 2021, we were celebrating my 26th birthday down in Key West, it was such a long exhausting day of fun and adventures. Joe rushed me out of our hotel after quick showers, my hair was a mess I forgot to brush it! He sat me down at a beautiful restaurant in Tavernier Key West, said he had to go run to the restroom. Little did I know he went to find someone to videotape the proposal, he walked up to me got on one knee and my first response was “You are kidding me right?” haha! This was one of our best days yet, this was our “Yes” Day. We are excited to experience this next Adventure with all of you! See you in December!
