Join us in the Desert!

We met on the dating app, Bumble. For our first date, the ice cream shop we planned on going to was closed, Ron was wearing a dirty hoodie and we went on a walk outside. In Chicago. In winter. Other than that, the date was perfect. We shared our first kiss in a parking garage, next to Cole McNabb's infamous "grape van." How romantic!

We got engaged at White Sands National Park in New Mexico. We spent the morning sand sledding and boarding down the dunes. When Ron was putting away the gear, he grabbed the ring and approached me in the car. I thought he wanted water, so I went to grab him a bottle. When I turned back around, he was on his knee with the ring out. He said "will you marry me?" I responded with "are you serious??," to which Ron responded "I guess that's a no." Once I finally realized this wasn't a joke, I said yes! It was a huge surprise!
