We can't wait to celebrate with you!

John and I first met country western dancing on Thursday nights at TU. In the fall of 2015, we realized we had the same math professor and started studying together. That September, we had our very first date (although I didn't know that until about a month later).

Right as all of the restrictions were easing up, we went to the lake with my parents, my brother Allen, and sister-in-law Chandler. We were "taking pictures" before dinner. We are both bad at getting pictures and had been talking about having pictures made so this was not super suspicious. We headed down to the dock and my mom pushed the speaker and her phone into my hands. It wasn't until we got down to the dock that I realized no one was following us and that something was up. John proposed on the dock with my family taking pictures from the house. We then went to a winery where we celebrated our engagement and Allen and Chandler's first anniversary.
