How We Met

First Comes Volleyball, Then Comes Marriage

While we were in college we crossed paths a few times and hung out in a couple of the same circles of friends. BUT, it all comes down to Tracks Volleyball. Super Mega Turbo Awesome was still playing on Wednesday nights. It was the original team. I was on the team and started to notice Geoff coming to watch and hang out EVERY...SINGLE...WEDNESDAY. Drinks and flirting followed for many weeks when I finally made the first move, stole a kiss, and he finally asked me out. We dated in secret for about a month until our friends started to put two and two together. From then on it never stopped. We were inseparable.

The Proposal

"Secret Over Night Trip"

Be patient they say...When Geoff was finally ready to pop the question, he could not find a free weekend. Anyone who knows me, knows I am a planner and always have something going on. That is when Geoff decided to just go ahead and put it in our shared calendar as "Secret Over Night Trip." Traditional no, but I couldn't have been more excited. I was able to get my nails done, hair done, go shopping, and be prepped for my (our) big moment. Our day started with brunch and bloodies at my favorite spot Corazon. Then off we headed to New Glarus Brewery where we took our first over night trip when we first started dating. To my surprise Geoff rented a little farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. He packed drinks, snacks, flowers and candles. When I was finished getting ready I walked out and the whole table was decorated. He is going to kill me for saying this but, as he got down on his knee, he fell out of his chair. Once he got up, he opened the LED lit box, said a bunch of sweet things (I don't remember any of it), and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. We all know the answer. Another funny thing was that in the middle of nowhere, there is NO cell service. We couldn't tell anyone. The first person I saw I told!! On our way home the next day we called everyone and continued the celebration.
