Our story begins in Ruskin, FL. In a series of unpredictable events, Ms. Nivar's life was turned upside down. She found herself commuting an hour to work somewhere she never realized would become such an important part of her life. But she began to feel right at home as she got to know some amazing and supportive people at this new school. Little did she know, there was someone else for her to meet, and her new friends had a plan to make it happen. Long story, short, after some very poor attempts to impress Mr. C with her hockey smarts, courtesy of Google and a friend, the two went on a date only to realize how much they have in common and the rest was history!

Three years and many adventures later, Gabriela and William, planned a trip to visit their families in New York. After spending time with many family members and friends they ventured to upstate New York to see Bella's family getaway. The small town where she shared so many family memories. She led Bill down to the Beaverkill River to take in the beautiful sights and there in the middle of the river he knelt (on some pretty treacherous rocks) to pop the question! Of course she said a tearful yes and so began the happily ever after!
