Like any "normal" day in a Homicide Detective's life, September 1st, 2017 was different that year.  Blame it on bad luck, or maybe it was God's Plan, but Sarah landed a big Homicide the day before their two year dating anniversary (go figure!).  After being up for over forty eight hours, working through their actual anniversary, Sarah came home to sleep for several hours before they planned to celebrate a day late.  In the afternoon of September 2nd, Chris woke Sarah up, told her to put on a dress and get dolled up, and prepare for a nice dinner.  On the way to eat, Chris said he wanted to watch the sunset at our "Secret" fishing spot in Sanibel Island.  A huge storm was rolling in and suddenly watching the sunset seemed less appealing... either way, they threw logic out the window and ended up in Sanibel anyway.  Unbeknownst to Sarah, Chris brought her fishing rod that had broke during a previous adventure and a tackle box.  Between the weird looks, and wondering what would possess him to want to fish in the rain, dressed up for that matter, Sarah humored him a bit and kept her mouth shut.

They sat on the beach and talked for a few moments until the dark clouds rolled in and rain slowly started coming down.  Chris picked everything up and they ran back towards the car.  Chris then mentioned he fixed her rod and asked Sarah to take a look at it.  After a long, hard stare, Sarah discovered a handmade fishing lure attached to the rod in the shape of a heart.  Sarah read the enscription for what seemed like 10 minutes... "You are my greatest catch, Marry me?" it read! Sarah turned and Chris was down on one knee!  Sarah cried and said "YES!!! Did you ask my dad?!" in typical Sarah fashion, haha. 

Apparently our love for one another can truly weather any storm ;)
