We met the way most modern couples meet… on a dating app.

I had been pretty sick of online dating and had nearly given up but took a leap of faith with Robert (mostly because he laughed at my jokes). Our first date was to the Newport Boat Parade, which is an awesome Christmas light show right before the holidays. Unfortunately, it got completely rained out. We sat in the rain for several hours laughing and talking and barely noticed that there were no actual boats going by. The next night, he made it up to me and surprised me with a walk around a different neighborhood where every house was decked out with lights.

Rob and I have talked about getting engaged for a while now, so I knew it was coming. To throw me off the scent, Rob told me that he got the ring, but it wouldn’t be ready until March. Rob and I run an adventure blog and we had a trip to Yosemite National Park planned for quite some time. Yosemite holds a special place in our hearts because Rob took me there for my first time on one of our first trips together.

Rob and I took a little stroll to see the waterfall closer. While he set up the tripod to take a picture of us I was completely preoccupied with the waterfall and the view. I heard him come up behind me and when I turned around he was down on one knee. I was completely surprised!
