How We Met

We met online, and she didn't murder me.

We had our first date at French Meadow Cafe in Minneapolis on Memorial Day 2014. We talked about books for 3 hours because #nerds. The rest is herstory. Thanks, OKCupid!

How She Proposed

'Til death do us part?

Laura, Mac and I went to my family cabin in Wisconsin for a snowy February weekend. Once we arrived, I started making dinner, and Laura claimed she forgot her charger in the car and went to go get it. Twenty minutes later, she still hadn't come back. After bundling up I went out to check on her, and no signs of Laura. Pitch black, no footprints, no phone on her, no response to my shouting. While considering whether I needed to call 911, she bounds up from behind the house. She had set up a trail of luminarias heading down to the frozen lake, where she proposed under the winter night sky. It was simple and beautiful, a private moment between us.

How She Proposed

Everyday I'm puzzlin'

Julia proposed to me a couple weeks later in our apartment while we were getting ready to move into our first house. She let (made!) me sleep in and cooked me an amazing breakfast. When I finished, she gave me a 500-piece puzzle to do. I know to most people this would sound like an arduous task, but I LOVE PUZZLES so it was perfect. I finished the puzzle (it was of vintage National Park posters) in three hours. Then she laid a poster board over the puzzle. The poster had little holes cut into it to reveal letters below. Those letters corresponded to numbers on a card that spelled out "Will you marry me?" and she gave me my ring. We were with our beloved pup Mac (not obsessed, I swear), surrounded by moving boxes and it was perfect.
