Christian and I first met at Fire Explorers at Station 526 Little Lake in 2013 to pursue careers as firefighters. We later attend high school together for a year during his senior year. We were always friends and would hang out. It seemed over time we would wonder about something more than friendship but never pursued the idea. We occasionally would go on mini adventures fishing in Idyllwild, finding caves dressed in camouflage, going to abandon houses, to scare mainly myself. We started dating in early 2016. A year and some change later Christian decided to get on one knee and ask me to marry him. I couldn't be happier to share the day with all of you when I get to marry my best friend.
