On the one year anniversary of my first kiss with Jess something special happened.
Its hard to believe that one year ago we were going out to breakfast at Denny's at 9 am after staying up all night talking, laughing, walking and smiling that I would be the happiest I have ever felt in my entire life.
We were closing our class at Rollercon and I brought the class of 80-100 onlookers together for my closing statement. I said, " Its been a long Rollercon and I know everyone is tired so go ahead and take a knee," To which the whole group got down. "everyone take a deep breath," To which I had already reached into my pocket and pulled out the ring and turned around to face the light of my life, Jess and kneeled in front of her and took her hand into mine. Looking into those eyes that I have forever gotten lost in I said, "I love you."
The crowd behind us gasped, whispered, "Oh my god!" Some were crying. All were smiling as Jess turned away, her eyes swelling up as she looked at me and said, " I love you."
I said, " There is no one else in the world that has ever made me feel like I do when I am with you even though sometimes we are miles apart you are always by my side and I couldn't imagine anyone else in the world that I would love to travel and teach with and share my life with.
The announcers from DNN said something that I didn't hear but the entire Sports Complex all cheered. My friends from all over the world came up to me, some with tears in their eyes saying, "You jerk you made me cry."
Soon Twitter exploded in Montreal as the news was broadcast all over the world that Derby's power couple had now become the soon-to-be married couple like it has happened before in Derby.
Skating brought us together in 2007 when we first met in Boston at a BDD bout and the rest is history.
As I look back into my life I couldn't imagine anyone else in the world that I would move mountains for then Jess.
