We met on the first day of school in Nicks senior year and Haley’s junior year. We both were taking an automotive course at the HISD.

After work we ate out at the Peppermill in Bad Axe, where we had our first date. We reminisced about how different things were the first time we had been there together. After we got home he told me to go get my Christmas present out of the garage. As I was opening the door he called my name and he was on one knee under the Christmas lights.
