We met our sixth grade year, because we rode the same bus. Our bus driver didn’t care if we stood and moved around on the bus. She ran over one speed bump a bit too hard, and next thing I knew, I had fallen right in to his lap. That’s when Daniel knew he was going to marry me one day.
As the ball dropped, on New Year’s Eve, of 2023 (going in to 2024,) we kissed, he embraced me, and asked me if I would marry him. At first, I didn’t believe he was being serious, but a few days later, we talked about it, and I realized he was serious!
