A snowy Friday night – January 21, 2012 – 2 days before my 30th birthday – some of my good friends – nighttime limo tour of monuments – my favorite city.  Little did I know that I was about to become Mike’s finance.

And then where it all started 7 years ago (on our first date, Mike took me to this same spot), Mike and I found ourselves away from the group.  It was about midnight on a cold, snowy night, and we were wandering around the Roosevelt Memorial on the Tidal Basin.

Mike got down on his knee…there were words, tears, screaming, and then champagne bottles being popped!   We’re engaged!   And I couldn’t be happier to spend the rest of my life with him!
