Normally when I think of a link, I picture a carabiner or one or more links in a chain. I imagine something physically solid that can keep a good grasp of something from both sides and on both ends. These type of links gain their strength from their design – their shape.

The link between us is a very similar. It’s been forging itself since the day we met and gains it’s strength from our continued dedication to each other – no matter the shape that our relationship takes.

There was a long chain of events that brought us together five years ago, and another chain of events that somehow directed us to where we are now. It may not be a place we thought we’d ever be, but we’re here and it’s not over unless you say it is.

I’m proposing to you Kimberly.. on a public stage.. in full view of the public eye. Take a moment to look into my eyes and recognize my soul, like you have done so many times before.

I Love you Kimberly. Please wear my engagement ring. It’s just one of the symbols of the Link Between Us.

– Your Forever Groom, Craig

Kimberly, the road to happiness with you is lined with tall romantic trees that blow in the gentle autumn breeze. This is the driveway that leads us to our cozy home where Jimmy, Bailey, and Trevor are allowed to run free (but they never do cuz we both know that they always just want to be with us in the house).

It’s a Beautiful day Kimberly.. Let’s spend many more of them together.

I Love You,

Craig
