Chris and I have been together since July 27. 2009. (Yes, we were still in high school!) Chris and I always knew we wanted to get married, and on April 20, 2019, he proposed! We were going on a family hike with our dog Mateo at Solidad Canyon. We were going to take a "family photo," and as I was trying to get Mateo to sit for the picture, I looked up, and Chris was on one knee. Tears filled my eyes, and of course, I said YES!!
