Colby and I have always lived in the same town and attended the same schools, but it wasn't until July of 2016 when we actually met each other. We were attending my cousin's wedding reception when Colby decided to walk over to introduce himself. There was an instant connection between the two of us! We spent the night dancing then headed downtown to O'Daly's Irish Pub to hang out just a little longer. We now have a long lasting competition in Connect Four and love dancing to "It's Tricky".
We spent the day downtown with close friends before getting ready for the Mystic Striper's ball. After the parade, we headed back to the Malaga Inn to get ready for a fun filled night at the ball (of course, it started pouring down rain). Once we were finished getting dressed, we walked downstairs to drop off our extra clothes and bags with Colby's parents. Mrs. Vickie (Colby's mom) insisted on taking pictures of us, even though we were in a really big hurry to get to the ball (so I thought). While taking pictures, Colby got down on one knee and popped the question! I was in such shock, I couldn't find any of the right words to say! I finally focused long enough for a quick head nod to say yes to my dream guy! We are so excited and cannot wait to share our big day with family and friends!
