We met at a hockey game! Ellie was friends with someone Michael played lacrosse with, and we started talking. We became excellent friends at first, and then the rest is Our history!
Michael took Ellie out to lunch at Jeremiah's Tavern. We talked all throughout lunch about how the past year had been great for both of us! Michael graduated from the University at Albany; Ellie graduated nursing school from St. Josephs's College of Nursing and passed her NCLEX. Ellie would be finishing her BSN at Le Moyne in the fall and Michael was about to start his new job in Michigan. After lunch, we went back to Michael's house where Ellie's family and Michaels were gathered ( unbenounced to Ellie). We started walking out to the back porch, and Michael got down on one knee, and popped the question!
