We're getting married!

We first met on a random trip to the thrift store and bubble tea with some mutual friends. Clayton was supposed to go to a floor event to go ice-skating, but instead chose to tag along in the 'Van'derson' ride to the thrift store. We both had the time of our lives, even though the trusty 'Van'derson did break down a couple times on the way home!

After a few months of getting closer as ol' college buds, we both headed home for the summer (Kathryn to Westport and Clayton to Kalispell). We spent the summer calling each other almost everyday, both blissfully unaware (or maybe subconsciously suppressing) our feelings for each other. When we got back to school, Clayton finally took the big risk, when they went on a walk, and he told Kathryn that he got "relationshippy vibes" from their friendship. Thankfully, Kathryn didn't mind the lack of romantic eloquence and felt the same way! We could finally start dating!

We went to a park in Redmond one morning to watch the sunrise, and Clayton had made a surprise breakfast for us both. I knew something was up when I saw that! After a quick speech about how he had learned so much from me, I was shocked when he went down on one knee and popped the question! I of course said yes! We are so excited to celebrate with you!
