Alexis + John!

Alexis was pretty convinced that John wouldn’t be able to surprise her with a proposal… Well, on March 2nd, 2014, it was like any normal day, Alexis had to go to work… and in her words: “When I got out of work, I decided to go for a run in the city (I am training for the Broadstreet).. long story short, I fell, skinned my knees, it started to rain, I was miserable…  I drove home, only wanting to shower and go to bed.  When I got to the house, the entire house was quiet… which is not typical.. I was walking through the house wondering where the heck both John and our alaskan malamute was… when I walked into the bedroom, I found John on his knee holding the ring with our dog sitting beside him.. It was then that he said, “Mal (our dog) and I want to ask you a question”.  To be honest shock took over and I did not hear anything else he said other then let me see if it fits.. and that is when the tears started.”  Seriously?!  So darn cute!!  Cant wait to capture their wedding next year on one of my favorite days of the year… Valentine’s Day!! <3
