Way back when, we met at a housewarming party for Brian and his new roommates. We competed against in each other in several games - a real "anything you can do, I can do better" situation. I knew right away that we shared a connection. It took Brian a little longer, but he eventually came to his senses! ;)

It all started with a failed surprise. I had planned to surprise Brian with a new camera lens for Christmas. After several days of investigating, he figured it out and decided to instead surprise me. On Christmas Eve, right before we were headed out the door, Brian asked to open his gift from me, knowing that it was a camera lens. He insisted I also open a gift and handed me a shirt-sized box. Inside that box was another box. Inside that box was the ring box. In shock, I looked up and there he was on one knee. After lots and lots of happy tears, I said "yes!"
