We met at The Point in Fresno, CA on December 21st, 2018, on a night that I was with co-workers and friends, and Cole begged his roommates to go out to dinner. We were lucky enough that the alcohol was flowing and my friend Megan (co-worker at the time) went up to Cole and asked if he was single. Cole states he didn't think she was talking to him, said yes. After an agonizing amount of time (per my memory), Cole came over to the table with a vodka-cran (a drink I would never order again to this day) to talk to me and all of my coworkers and friends. I'm not sure how long we sat and talked before Cole followed me to Campagnia (another local restaurant/bar) and the rest was history!

On our second anniversary trip in South Lake Tahoe, Cole asked me almost immediately after we arrived in a small wooded snowy area. It started with him handing me a big wrapped box with a pearl necklace inside. Cole offered to put the necklace on and when I turned around he was down on one knee asking me to officially be his wife! Of course the answer was YES, and we spent the rest of the weekend celebrating just the two of us.
