Luke and I met on a dating app, known as Bumble. With Bumble, the girl has to make the first move to initiate a conversation. After I asked Luke if he “skied or snowboarded” (based on his profile pictures), the conversation took off from there! We had about 6 dates in 14 days, and then officially started our relationship on 12/26/18.

We had just begun our week long trip in Colorado on 1/9/21. For once, we did not have any lost baggage, missed or cancelled flights, or delays. Our trip was off to a great start! Luke found a Bills Backer Bar in West Denver, and once we landed in Denver, we headed straight to the bar to catch the last quarter of the Bills playoff game. We sat outside, had a couple drinks, enjoyed the snow and playoff win. Go Bills! We had a two hour drive to our beautiful hotel in Beaver Creek (thanks Maria!). After a quick outfit change, we went out to dinner. After dinner, Luke insisted we walk around Beaver Creek Village. After walking around, checking out the restaurants and shops, we came upon the perfect photo op! There was a large Christmas Tree (which made us think of the tree at Rockefeller Center, where were spent our first dating anniversary) and lights and frozen waterfalls. A girl offered to take pictures for us. Just as she was handing Luke's phone back to him, Luke asked her to take one more picture. Luke got down on one knee, pulled out a ring box, and said "Ann Elizabeth Skrobacz, I love you so much." After many happy tears, phone calls to our parents and siblings, we arrived back in our room and there was champagne waiting for us from our family!
