We met through mutual friends. Luc had just got off the boat he was working on and went to visit his friend Mitch. Luc and Mitch had grown up together, so they have been friends for a long time. I met Mitch's wife Rebekah my first semester at UL. Mitch and Rebekah had become good friends of mine, but I had never met Luc until the night he stopped at their house to visit. Mitch and Rebekah thought it was a good idea to start snap chatting me pictures of Luc and said that we needed to meet. I went over to their house all shy and we all just hung out. We ended up going boating that following weekend together and I just wasn't sure I needed anyone at this time. It took a few months of us talking. Then we all went on a friends beach trip to Destin, FL, and Luc and I had a long walk on the beach together with some good talks. That is when we thought, "Okay. This could be something."

On this Saturday morning I woke up early and nervous because it was my first of three written dental hygiene board exams. I was up early so I was trying to waste some time before leaving because I didn't want to arrive to the testing center too early. I was making sure I had everything I needed, Sadie, our dog, was running around wanting to play and be fed. I thought it was strange that Luc just stayed in bed this morning, but didn't think anything further than this. I went and took my first board exam. I stopped and got a gift for a shower on my way home, just like it was any normal Saturday morning. When I got home Sadie came running to the door like always, I set the gift down and pet her. When I turned around there was a dozen roses, champagne, and chocolate covered strawberries. Luc was all dressed up as I stand there in yoga pants and a t-shirt. He took my hands and said the sweetest things about me before he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I of course said "YES" and was in complete surprise. We were engaged!!
