We met on New Year's Eve at a friend's party in Rochester, MN. He was home from Colorado Springs while she was home from Mankato. With only a few days left in winter break we went for a hike at the nature center in town. From there on, even with the distance, we could not keep each other out of our thoughts.
On this day we took a drive out to a scenic lookout over the entire town of Minot, where he dropped down on one knee! With such excitement I screamed "YES!", as I knew this was the man I wanted to spend my forever with.
