I moved home in December and about a week after I got home he had promised to take me to see Christmas lights. He took me to my favorite coffee shop and then we drove over to a place nearby that had the most amazing light show that you could watch from your car. When it was over he had me get out and on a huge sign off to the side he had written &#8220;Alex will you marry me?\u201d I was so excited and quickly said yes!
