We met on Easter in 2018 at Grenada Berean Church. I was still living in southern California at the time and was visiting for Easter with my family. Gary (our officiant) and Linda Horne, my long time family friends, invited me to church with them that day and I agreed with the hopes that I would be able to meet some people I might be able to be friends with before I moved to Yreka permanently in 4 months. God delivered and shortly after we walked in Gary and Linda introduced me to the Fiock family. Although we didn't know it at the time, Trevor and I both immediately felt an attraction for each other. We spent the service trading glances to each other across the row and left shortly after the service. We went home that day still thinking about each other and I managed to find some contact information for him and took a chance and reached out to him. Well, that one message turned into four months of talking via text messages, phone calls, and video chats until July 20th when I was finally able to see him in person again and we had our first official date at Five Marys in Fort Jones. We spent the weekend together and have been inseparable ever since. Trevor asked me to be his girlfriend on July 22nd, 2018 and he went to Colorado for a work trip and I went back home to Long Beach to finish packing before the big move next month. August of 2018 was the first time we got to be together regularly and our love grew tremendously over the next two years as a girl from a beach town in the city learned to love a country boy born and raised on a cattle ranch. Our love story began that Easter in church and we are so ready for this next chapter of our lives together!

Trevor and I decided to spend our Friday adventuring together as we would any other Friday. We decided to head down to Dunsmuir to visit Mossbrae Falls. Before we left, Trevor told me to pack up something nice to wear and after the falls we would go up to one of the highest points on his family's property to watch the sunset in a spot we had visited a couple of years before. Given that this was during the coronavirus pandemic, date nights usually took place in locations like this and so the idea didn't raise any suspicions in me. So we went to the falls and had a great afternoon relaxing and enjoying each other, then we headed back to Yreka to get ready for dinner. Trevor wore a very nice button-down striped shirt and I wore one of my favorite white summer dresses. We picked up some food and headed up the mountain. Once the truck was parked, we hopped on the tailgate, put on some music, and had dinner together. Once dinner was finished we decided to do one of my favorite activities, dance! We had danced to a couple of songs before Trevor asked if we should record one of our videos like we often did so we could look back on them later. This wasn't abnormal for us so I happily agreed with no suspicion. Trevor asked if we should do our song, Cowboys, and Angels by Dustin Lynch, for the video and I excitedly agreed. We were dancing away and having a great time when all of a sudden he dropped to his knee and asked me to be his wife. I was completely shocked and felt like I was in a dream. I could hardly hold back the tears long enough to get the word YES out, and even then that was about the only word I could get out for about 30 minutes. We then called our families to tell them the news before returning back to my parent's house to celebrate with both of our families for the evening.
