Matt and I met when we were 15 on a high school retreat called Destination Jesus. We spoke a lot that weekend and became good friends. Over the course of high school our friendship continued to grow stronger, and we quickly became best friends. I knew that I could count on him to be there if I needed a friend, and he was there for me many times. In 2015, after we had both been through some nasty breakups we decided to get together to catch up and re-kindle our friendship. After this we started hanging out all the time and Matt asked me to be his girlfriend. In 2019, Matt proposed! He surprised me by coming home from Minnesota for the Indy 500. He had planned to propose all along, but all i knew was that we were having a cookout with friends for the race. Everyone in attendance knew he was going to pop the question but I was so surprised! I said yes, of course, and we cannot wait for October 10, 2020 to be here!
