As many of your know, we met for the very first time at Cal Poly SLO in the Kennedy Library (Second floor, in a window booth). Blake was a junior and Ellen was a freshman. A mutual friend introduced us, and nothing really came of it. A few months later, Blake and Ellen ran into each other at a party, and again...not much came of it. One day, Ellen asked her friend for Blake's phone number so that he could purchase her "apple juice". While on a very awkward outing to purchase "apple juice" Ellen reluctantly made plans with Blake to go to a party with him the next day. We have been together since that very party! Memorial day weekend 2017, Blake and Ellen revisited that second floor booth, and Blake popped the question!
