Ryan and I went to middle school and high school together, but didn't really meet until college. We hung out with a lot of the same friends and finally met at a party while we were both home from college. We fell in love that summer and have been together even since despite going to college nearly two hours away from each other.

Ryan planned the most beautiful proposal on a family trip to Breckenridge, Colorado. He truly thought of everything. He surprised me at Sapphire Point by hiring a photographer, making reservations at a special restaurant, and booking a suite in the mountains. Of course, the proposal wouldn't be complete without Millie so he made sure my family was together in Michigan an they dolled her up for the big day!

When Ryan first asked me if I wanted to move in with him, I was a little apprehensive. I grew up in a family with three siblings so a house of chaos was what I was used to.. Moving into a house where it was just going to be the two of us seemed lonely.. However I really did WANT to move in with Ryan, I just needed a companion. So I asked Ryan if I could get a puppy before we moved in and he wasn't on board... at first. Then I decided I would start looking at puppies just in case he changed his mind. Then I met Millie.... accidentally bought her on the spot and had to call Ryan on my way home and tell him that we added a fur child to our family. Originally he was a little angry with me, but then he met Millie and they've been in love ever since.
