Kris and I met through his sister Erika who had become my best friend at Purdue. It was about midnight on June 17th when I got done with a family function and decided to go to Erika's parents to hang out. At this point I already knew who Kris was and had messaged with him a couple time but had thought nothing of it. That night we all hung out but went to bed early. We woke up the next day and went to lunch and then from there Kris and I started hanging out everyday even if Erika wasn't there. We have both said that from that first day we knew that we would be more than friends. Little did we know that we would end up starting our lives together.

Kris and I got the keys to our first home on Friday April 24th. We spent the morning packing up our rental home and moving into our new place. I was busy unpacking a room and Kris asked my to take a break and come outside and hangout for a little. I finished up what I was working and and walked out onto the back porch where Kris, his brother, his parents, Andy and Emily were at. They were all standing in a circle around the porch and that's when kris asked! And of course I said YES!
