We met in the parking lot of the Cheyenne Ice and Events Center, for a Stampede hockey game. Neither of us wanted to go out that evening, but our mutual friends talked us into it. Brandon had a pack of Bud Light in his Tahoe, and back then Nikol would never pass up a free drink. We both were smitten toward each other all night, and Brandon never let Nikol's beer run out. Everyone was having a great night. By the end of the night we exchanged numbers, and the rest is history.
We planned a family vacation to California. Nolan had a basketball tournament and we rented a house on the beach. After dinner Brandon wanted to see the sunset along the coastline. We were surrounded by Kyle, Erika, Noble, Kreed, Linda, Nolan & Adalyn. Nikol had absolutely no idea Brandon had been planning this for 8 months, but it was an easy Yes! It was wonderful for everyone.
