Like all good love stories ours starts out with a few chance meetings. Our first encounter was in our 8am American history class (or rather the first time he saw me). The Olson auditorium easily held 300 students, but as fate would have it this is where he first spotted me. We would later officially meet at my sorority’s mixer where we spoke and danced, but it wasn’t until we ran into each other on campus for a third time that we felt sparks fly. Third times the charm and the rest is history. In the years since, we have made so many amazing memories around road trips, his military career, going on cruises and ski adventures that we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. So on August 29 2019, on an impromptu cruise to the western Caribbean he popped the question. And I said YES! As much fun as these past years have been, we can’t wait to finally be husband and wife starting our next chapter.
