We never thought we would meet each other in the most cliche way possible, in college, at a bar. I fell in love instantly with his super silly personality and wit. It took him a whole lot longer to fall for me. We wanted to become best friends before all else and it only took 8 months to realize that we did not want to spend the rest of our lives with anyone else.. but there was a catch. The Marine Corps always has other plans for life. Seth went off to TBS shortly after I began teaching my first year and we got to experience what this life had mapped for us. Seth proposed 4 months into TBS after we decided that we wanted to explore this crazy life together!

Seth and I really wanted to have an alumni date day around the Iowa State campus before he went back to TBS after the holidays. He decided he wanted to be sneaky. We went to all the memorable places on Iowa State's campus before walking around Lake Leverne 3 (total between us because it was cold) times. Then, we headed off the the campanile. When we got to the campanile, our closest family and friends were surrounding us. It was the most amazing proposal in the whole world to the most amazing guy, so naturally I said yes.
