We met during our freshman year of college. It was Halloween and we were dressed up, dancing, and hanging out together. Over the next two years we were just friends. We would see each other around campus, and hangout at tailgates and football games. Fast forward two years, when we realized we wanted to be more than just friends. Jack got a chocolate lab named Sammy, who we started raising together, and we thought, "Okay. This could really be something." The rest is history.
One Wednesday after work, I came home to a suitcase with a weather page on top of it. Jack told me to pack a bag for this weather because we were leaving the next morning on a surprise trip. The next day we arrived in San Francisco, California and drove to Napa Valley. We checked into a beautiful hotel, relaxed and ate lunch, and then went to a hilltop winery. We were about to take a picture with the scenery when Jack got down on one knee, Emily said "yes", and we were engaged! Now it's time to celebrate!
