This weekend I had a dream come to fruition. I asked the girl of my dreams to marry me and she said, YES! For those of you that have been asking (namely, every single one of my female clients) here is the story of how this all went down.
A few weeks ago I decided I was going to completely throw Jess off with an invite to a Nationals game. You see, we had never been to one together, so she would NEVER suspect that that’s where I was going to propose… I called in a favor to the White House and worked out a deal with Teddy Roosevelt to flirt with her after the President’s race.
The original idea was to have Teddy have a ring of his own to present to her, and at that time I would step in with the real one… we just couldn’t work those details out to work quite right- so we went with Teddy going all alpha on me and trying to steal my girl. He even pushed me away!
Once Teddy had her nice and distracted, I made sure to rope her attention back in by getting on one knee… she never saw it coming!
Listen closely to the video, you will clearly hear her say, “Are you serious?”
Check it out:
I can honestly tell you that the whole entire thing was a blur… both of us for about a half hour after the fact were kind of in shock (even though I knew it going to happen). I wouldn’t change a thing if I could go back and do it all over again though.
Sorry, I know it doesn’t seem like a “gym” related post, but EVERYBODY is asking how it went down. Any you know what? It is a gym related post, because this whole place is like family.
Now it’s time to plan the biggest party of our lives!
I’ll be following up with a “real” blog post later this week…
Progression Through Perseverance,
