We met at the Richey Hardware officially, but didn't think much of it. Shortly after that we started talking. If it wasn't for the courage Ryder gained from Bucks Bar the night before, there might not have ever been a first date that weekend ;) For the first year we hardly saw each other, but we made it work. You know what they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder and we can attest to that. Five years later!
I knew that the engagement was coming, but had no idea when or where it would happen. We went out for one of our usual crop tours one evening to Red Water. Once we bounced across the rough field, Ryder got out of the pickup and got down on one knee and did the damn thing! I wouldn't have guessed in million years it would have happened that way, totally unexpected and I will cherish that memory forever!
