We're engaged!
On July 1, 2011, Steve proposed by recreating our first date. On our first date we had eaten at a small Columbian restaurant in Harrisburg then walked over to City Island and snuck into a Senators baseball game (it was almost over so they weren't checking tickets anymore). On the day he proposed, he came home from work early with a dozen red & white roses. We went to the same restaurant to eat then walked around City Island afterwards. There wasn't a baseball game that night so we just enjoyed the night and walked around. We wandered over to the edge of the water where there was a marble table. Steve had me close my eyes while he threw some rose petals out on the table and ground around it. The whole time he was saying how much he loves me and how this past year has been the best year of his life, etc. He finally told me to open my eyes and turn around, then he asked me to marry him and I said yes!
