Getting engaged right before my back surgery and Christmas was kind of fun. We put my bed in the living room at my mom's and everyone came to visit us while I was recovering and the holidays were going on. I was in a lot of pain, but it was a really lovely time for us. 🥰💍🎄 I can't believe we've been married for almost a year now! #Engagement #Married #InterabledCouple #SpinalCordStimulator #EngagementRing
