Our love and friendship all began at Twin Oaks Day Camp where we used to work in the summer. We were friends first before anything else. After long, hot days after camp, we would hang out with our friends and have bon fires in one of our backyards. It was during one of those nights when he asked me out. He surprised me with our first date in Long beach where the night was filled with laughs, snacks and good music. This is when we knew something special was upon us.

Right before we went to get lunch with his parents, we took a walk to one of our favorite spots in our town which is Merrick Mountain. It was a sunny and windy day when we walked out onto the pier looking out to the ocean. Only to my surprise, when I turned around, he was down on one knee. I happily said, "Yes" and both of our families were waiting at his house to celebrate the amazing news. This is when our forever started.
