I kind of knew it. We started talking on the phone when she came in town from Colorado last October (2008). For about 10 months or so, we talked once or twice a week for 3 or 4 hours at a time, usually late into the night. I knew around January that I wanted to take her on a date when she moved to norman (July 2009), but I had to try and put those emotions on hold. I did a fairly good job, I think, but I definitely found myself making plans to ask her out.
On the 14th of July, I asked her on our first date. She was going to come to Oklahoma on the 17th or so, so I decided the 18th would be a good first date…. you, take it slow, let her be in OK for a while… 
Anyway, we started dating, I found my life resonating deeper with her than with anyone I’d ever met before. I found myself terrified by that fact, too, because I’d been hurt before… But I fearlessly made the powerful decision every day to pursue her and keep taking the single step right in front of me.
4 months later, on 11.10.09 at 8:07am, I asked her to be my wife. And she said yes!
