Believe it or not, we are a successful outcome to a random dating app our friends told us to try! After just one day, we found each other. After hours of phone conversations (we were apart for Christmas break), we fell in love with the voice and personality on the other end of the call. So, Adrian asked me on a date and I eagerly accepted. Having never met in person, we were both nervous wrecks when he picked me up at the San Diego Airport Baggage Claim. As unorthodox and crazy as we were then, we must have done something right to end up here. So, thank you OkCupid, you stupid little app.

On the day I picked him up from the Seattle airport for a visit, we decided to race the sun back to Manson for an evening swim at sunset. He took me to my favorite spot on the lake, a private beach on Wapato Point, and got down on one knee just as I was about to hop in the water. When I turned around, there he was, with bright eyes and with an even brighter ring in his hand. He asked me to marry him to which I responded, "Absolutely yes! It's about time!" We are so excited to start the next chapter of our lives and wouldn't want to do it without you there! See you in Manson!
