Ross and I met through Ascent Project Church. The first time we talked he was helping me push a rickety cart with hot chocolate on it down the street to the Rescue Mission. All I remember is that he had a big smile on his face the whole time and was very kind - both of these things are still true!

On Friday morning I arrived at Ginger & Baker at 9 am ready for my work photoshoot. I saw my boss' car out front and walked inside, but to my surprise, the first person I saw in the coffee shop was Ross! I was in total shock! Ross gave me a big hug and guided me up the stairs as I tried to pick up my jaw off the floor. I glanced at printed photos of us and candles as he walked me to the overlook and got down on one knee. He proposed and I said the easiest "yes" of my life! We hugged and cried and savored the moment. Then Ross surprised me again as our friends and family came out of hiding from the backroom! We spent the rest of the day visiting our favorite spots in Fort Collins and celebrating with our closest people. Our hearts are full of joy and gratitude for the story God has written for us so far. We're so thankful for all of you and excited to celebrate with you on July 2nd!
