“Mark plays baseball for the Cincinnati Reds minor league team. I was at one of his games when he noticed me in the stands and threw me a baseball with his number on it. I let him take me out on a date but didn't really expect anything to come of it. I knew he traveled for a living as a baseball player and doubted he'd want anything serious. However, we continued to talk every day while he was away on road trips and see each other whenever he was in town. Mark proposed to me on Christmas Day while I was in our bedroom packing for an upcoming trip to New York. I was in a robe with wet hair, and no makeup on. Mark told me he had originally planned an elaborate proposal to happen during one of our evenings out in New York, but because he travels for a living, it's not that glamorous to him anymore. He said the moments he cherishes the most are when it's just us two together at home, so that's when it felt right. We're now married and have a son named Andrew. Being a baseball wife isn't easy, but he's the most incredible man and I wouldn't trade him for the world.”
