Aaron and I met in September of 2005. I was at a local bar with a few friends enjoying a pre-season Chief's football game while he was there with his co-workers for going-away/inventory party. I remember noticing him right away, but being pretty shy...I just stole glances every now and then. One of his friends caught me looking and brought up who he though I was staring at to talk. It turned out I met Aaron's best friend Jasmond instead of him! We all talked for a little while but it took a few months for anything to work out between Aaron and I. I ended up calling him in May to go out with some of my friend and we've been inseparable ever since!

In November of 2007, I had gotten Aaron an early Christmas present. Because it was a tree orniment, I gave it to him early so we could actually enjoy it. He opened it and immediately put it on our tree! He told me that he would go ahead and let me open one of my presents early to make it fair, but that he had to go get it so I needed to shut my eyes. I shut my eyes and heard him open the garage door! I remember laughing to myself because I thought it was SO silly that he was scared of me snooping so he hid the present in the garage! After what seemed like years...I heard him come back inside. I opened my eyes and he handed me a glass bottle of Jones soda! I though it was cute because that's his last name, but my disappointment must have shown on my face, because Aaron then instructed me to actually look at the bottle. I looked down, and on the label of the bottle was our picture! I couldn't believe it! That was the coolest thing I had seen and I started asking him how he got it done, did he get more then one bottle....a hundred questions came flying out. I could tell Aaron was getting a little annoyed with me because he ignored my questions and told me to READ the bottle. I looked down again and just to the left of our picture were the words "Will you Marry Me?". Once I was convinced this was really happening and my heart started beating again, I said Yes!
