We met through mutual friends. We went out for dinner and drinks-ordered two margaritas. We spent the night talking about everything! It felt like we knew each other our whole lives. We bonded over our love for Mexican food, big families, and our sense of adventure. I think we both thought, "Okay, this could be something."
We flew up to Fairbanks Alaska in the middle of winter-it was negative 30 degrees outside and we were determined to see the northern lights. Tom woke me up early in the morning, around 6:00 AM. He told me that we should go look for the northern lights and sit in the hot springs. I did not want to get out of bed, but decided it was a good idea. We were walking toward the hot springs when he pulled my hand back and got down on one knee. I said "YES" and we were engaged! We spent the next hour looking at the glow from the northern lights and popped champagne. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you! See you in Leavenworth!
