We started College together in Lafayette Louisiana and both skied on the Ragin Cajun waterski team. At the end of our first semester, we started hanging out more and realized a lot of similarities in our lives. After having been introduced to Dane's love for juicing, I pulled out my mom's old juicer over winter break and send him a picture that made him fall in love with me. Coming back from the break, we continued hanging out. Without having an idea that Pickos ski school was like Dane's second home, I asked around to find people who would like to join me on a ski trip to SRB for spring break. DANE immediately said yes and we packed our things for an exciting trip. After a few challenges, we managed to get there and this is where we fell in love.
After building a strong bond over 4 years in College, we continued loving each other. We managed to stay connected over summer breaks and were used to having to spend some time apart. However, when Covid hit and I got stuck in Europe while Dane was working in the US, we realized we did not want to live without each other anymore. After seeing each other for a week in August, Dane had to fly back to the US for work but promised to come to see me in November. After some hints that he might come on the weekend that I got back from a ski trip to Italy, I almost gave up that he actually would. But then with a huge surprise, he did not only show up but also proposed to me on November 21st of 2020 in the backyard of my brother's house. Everything was beautifully decorated and I was blown away.
