Three nights ago I proposed to my girlfriend of five years. I built a bonfire, we made hotdogs and toasted marshmallows over the open flame, the Avett Brothers were playing in the background and I had just watched Jess unapologetically inhale three s'mores and wash them down with a cold beer. I knew at that moment for sure that she was where I wanted to be for the rest of my life. I didn't take a knee, because as I told her "I bow to no man or woman",(I pounded several beers to calm my nerves, it did help but robbed me of my eloquence) and asked if she wanted to spend the rest of her life doing cool shit with me. She said yes, and we ate more celebratory s'mores followed by rockstar sex. I couldn't be happier. She has made everything in my life better and I'm ready to spend the rest of my days trying to return the favor.
