We first met in the mythical world of online multiplayer gaming, in Halo 3 in 2006. Our lives had not fully come together yet and would not for several years. We met up to play over the years and had fun and enjoyed each others company. It wasn't until around 2009 that we became closer and our gaming together went from every few months to spending 4-8+ hours a day together watching movies or playing games. I (Darcey) was the pursuer, I just had a feeling about this guy! He wasn't having it though and remained distant and played hard to get :) By 2011 we we're finally gearing up to be on the same page, Shane even "joked" about some day marrying me in Hawaii ( I didn't believe it) and in July of 2012 he moved to Oregon to see if this was " the real thing" lol - fast forward to today 2021, we have decided it's finally time to jump all in, as we finalize purchasing our first home together we'll top it off with celebrating our 10 year anniversary with the ultimate commitment, and tie the knot! I can't imagine loving anyone more. Growing together over the last 10 years has been amazing and we can't wait to see what growing together for the rest of our lives unfolds.
