We met at a party on Cody's birthday at our community college in North Dakota. Abby played softball and Cody played hockey. Ever since the night of the party, they were inseparable. She was Cody's number one fan in the stands during the hockey season and vise versa when Abby played softball. Cody knew two months in that he was going to spend the rest of his life with her. And now the time has come for it all to become real on 7-10-2021!
Cody was with his friends at his college house and was talking to his roommates and knew the time had come. Asking Abby's parents was nerve-wracking all in itself. Asking the parents of the girl of your dreams is one of the biggest, nervous, exciting times in a man's life. When he asked Abby's parents they didn't even hesitate to say yes. So when the last weekend of the hockey season came, he wanted to do something special. His parents were in town, it was the last hockey game of his hockey career, and thought that it couldn't have been a better time to pop the question. There is a place you can hike called Sugarloaf Mountain. Once the hockey game was over he wanted to have all of his friends and parents to go on a hike up Sugarloaf. Once at the top, we all hung out for 15 minutes or so. Before heading back down we all decided to take a group picture, and then a picture of just Abby and Cody. That is when Cody got down on one knee and asked Abby Rae Mehling to be his wife!!
