We always say that Murphy is responsible for our love story. I had just moved to Bend, Oregon when Murphy was a puppy and on a whim, took her to a new park to try to tire her out. Justin happened to be in the park playing corn hole and drinking beers with friends, as Bend guys do. Murphy caused quite the scene in her puppy days and Justin's friends just had to meet her. Justin asked for my phone number and the rest is history.

In true fisherman fashion, Justin proposed at sunset in his drift boat on Davis Lake. We were camping with friends and he told me he wanted to take me on a boat ride. We loaded up with Murphy and anchored in the middle of the lake. I was facing the opposite way of Justin holding Murphy and watching the sunset and when I turned back around, the boat was covered in rose petals and he was down on a knee. I was so surprised, completely forgot everything he said, and said, "Yes!"
