It all started on a golf course! Who knew? Boca Municipal golf course in Boca Raton, FL. Austin was an instructor for the junior golfers, and I drove around the course in a super cool beverage cart, trying to make a dollar through my senior year of college at FAU. Occasionally, I would work inside the club house snack bar where Austin and I would casually chat during his break while eating his favorite bacon, egg & cheese sandwich that I would make. It didn't take either of us long to really feel a connection when together, however our casual friendship went on for a few more months before the day I found a "lucky" golf ball on the ground. I went to pick it up while Austin simultaneously took it out of my hand. The next thing I know he's writing something on it with a black sharpie....At that moment, junior golf was about to start, he gave me a cute smirk & gave me the ball back. When I glanced back down at it a couple minutes later, I realized he had discretely written his phone number on it for me... Hmmm, our first date followed shortly after that :) need I say more?..fast forward 3.5 years and here we are living the dream in beautiful Colorado together & planning our wedding!

It was an ordinary Saturday evening! ( until this happened of course ) I was getting home from a long day of work when I noticed a rustic wooden sign in the shape of heart that says " Best Day Ever" leaning up against our front door. (Side story: We saw this wooden sign at the store a few days before and contemplated on getting it " for our future wedding" because I loved it so much, but decided we'd get it next time). As I walked closer, I noticed there was a sweet love note attached with a hand written poem from Austin... Flattered, I proceeded to walk inside to him cooking up this amazing crab leg & Steak dinner for us, Yummy! Austin is always cooking & doing wonderful things for us, so I really had no clue what was happening. Our fur baby Novalee, was excited I was home and jumping all over me when I noticed she had a new collar on with a new name pendant attached.... Confused for a second, I took a closer look, and there it was engraved in the pendant " Mommy will you Marry Daddy?" - Surprised at the fact that this could really be happening right now in our living room, I turned around and there's Austin on one knee behind me with this stunning ring in hand asking me to marry him & be his forever... Of course I squealed YES over & over again while jumping on him! Such an ordinary day turned in to the Best day Ever ..and yes, you will see this special wooden sign at our wedding! :)
