Our Love Will Take You Higher

The story begins freshman year at Lower Richland High School were Miraka fell in love with her best friends brother Eric. He had no idea that 13 years later he would be engaged to his sister best friend and have a beautiful baby boy. The two dated for a few short weeks during high school before they decided that they were better off as friends. During high school, they had a typical teenage love that kept them on each others radar (Miraka wrote I Love You on Eric's car in mayonnaise). Over the years their friendship grew and so did their love for one another. Even though they did not date again in high school or college they vowed to always remain friends. As life carried them off to different colleges they kept in touch and at the end of Mirakas senior year of college, Eric popped the question. But, it's not the question your thinking. He told her that he could no longer be just friends and wanted to take their relationship to the next level. Of course, Miraka said yes and they begin their journey as boyfriend and girlfriend.

On Christmas Eve, we took a family trip to Brookgreen Gardens in Myrtle Beach. They were viewing the otters which were Miraka's favorite exhibit. Eric then got down on one knee and asked Miraka if she would marry him. Of course, she said yes without any hesitation and for the rest of the day she was lost for words in shock of what had just happened. And now the fun really begins!!!
