We were young freshmen who met at a football game amongst mutual friends. It got cold and Bryce offered me his Jordan jacket. At the end of the night, I was so nervous that I threw his jacket to him and whispered, "Thanks", before running off. The next night was the Flathead Homecoming Dance and we danced all night long together. However, we were both very young and naive, so we didn't begin to date until two years later. During the summer of 2013, as we were entering our junior year of high school (I know, we were so much wiser), we both had sworn off serious relationships until college. However, we decided to get together as friends. We sprawled out at the Kids-Sport soccer fields and talked for 3 hours straight. It began raining, so I got up and started running off the field, but Bryce grabbed me from behind and we slowly walked off the field together. A few hours before another date, he called me from the emergency room and told me he had broke his ankle and that we would have to postpone our date. The next day we had our date and we made it official. Maybe it was the medication he was on that made him ask me, maybe it wasn't, either way, here we are today.

On our six year anniversary, Bryce and I went to watch the Lion King in theaters, my all time favorite childhood movie. We then went and got frozen yogurt from Twisted Bliss, our favorite yogurt spot in Kalispell. Surprisingly, I was completely ready for our planned sushi date at Wasabi, so we had an hour to kill. I know, so unlike me, usually I'm always running late! Bryce seemed a little anxious than normal but nothing seemed suspicious. I then realized I forgot my makeup bag at Piney Creek Interiors, where I worked. Bryce decided to stop there for me to grab it before we headed to dinner. When we walked in, many of our close family and friends were present, and the whole place was decorated! I started hugging everyone, and when I turned around, I saw a montage of items and letters I had given Bryce. He had made a collage of photos of us together, too! He then got down on one knee, I squealed and starting clapping, he popped the question, and I said "Yes" with tears running down my face! We spent the rest of the evening celebrating with family and eating sushi from Wasabi. Yes, he still made sure to get me sushi! What a great future husband!
