I knew the day I met Tony that he'd play a significant part in my life somehow and in some way. He said he felt the same for me. I have never in my life knew that from the very moment I met someone!!
Ok...fast forward to June 2002. It is the last day of the month in the late evening. We just got done going out to dinner and rather than driving toward our house, Tony drives in the opposite direction towards Louisville, KY. I asked what was up and he replied that he just wanted to take a drive. We get to Waterfront Park and park the truck and get out and start walking around. It was a gorgeous night. I remember it being very warm but not a sticky and overly hot night. It was perfect weather for walking along the Ohio River.
It was now midnight...now it is actually July 1, 2002. We walk over to the area with the trees and sand. I stopped in the sand and told Tony to turn his head around. (I wanted to surprise him with what I was writing...lol) I wrote "I love you" in the sand with a big heart drawn around it. Tony said, "Awwww. Now it's my turn, so you gotta turn around and close your eyes, ok?" I did as requested. After a little bit, Tony said, "Ok, now you can look."
There written in the sand were these words......"Will you marry me?" I about fell out on the ground! He then got on one knee and properly proposed to me!! I knew the very second he asked that I was going to say YES!! Of course, YES!!
We've been going strong since and I know in my heart of hearts that I have found the most amazing guy in the world for me!! I've heard it said, "he completes me." Well, it is not so much that he completes me but rather that he was one of my missing puzzle pieces. He is the perfect fit!!
I'm very blessed to have Tony in my life. He's a God-send and I couldn't breathe without him.
