Josh and I met working together at Spring Hill Day Camp. Josh was returning for his third summer, and I was starting my first. We were introduced on the first day of training but didn't have another conversation until the last night, despite our coworkers thinking that there was something between us. Our instant friendship naturally turned into more over the next few weeks of the summer. We patiently followed the "don't date till week 8" camp rule and officially started dating on July 29, 2016.

I started planning the proposal in early 2019 with visits to many jewelry stores to pick out the perfect engagement ring for Amy. Come June and July, I started contacting everyone I needed and those I knew who could help me pull off the perfect proposal. On July 28, 2019 (the day before our 3rd anniversary) everything was in place, I just needed Amy! She thought we were meeting our friends at Holland State Park which was a special spot for us. On a crowded beach, I began to tell Amy how amazing she was and how excited I was to spend my life with her. I got down on one knee and she said yes! After I popped the question, I took her to Big Lake Brewing where all of our friends and family were patiently waiting for us (we were late as always). Amy was very surprised and it was an amazing day!
