We were in high school. I was a Junior and he was a Senior. It was after school, I was standing outside with my friend waiting for my bus. John choose me out a huge group of people. He walked up and started talking to me. He ended up driving me home and we hit it off. We did everything together. We went to every football game and homecoming dance. We became high school sweethearts. Too young... Years later, we started talking on Facebook and now find ourselves both happily together. We could not be more excited to celebrate the next step in our journey with each of you, who have played (and will continue to play) such an important part in our adventure!

In May 2018 we flew to California and rented a canary yellow convertible Camero. We toured the northern area of California. We had the best time driving down Hwy 1. We stopped and picked fresh strawberries actually eating them for lunch. We then went to the beach at Santa Cruz and rode the rides on the boardwalk. Our last stop was Yosemite National Park. We walked the trail to Yosemite Falls, tucked away was a small wooded area right next to the falls. We were so close we could feel the water hit our arms as the water fell over the cliff. John had his arm around me as we watched the water. Before I knew it he was on one knee. He opened a lighted box that held a beautiful ring. He asked me to marry him and of course, I said "YES" and we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
