The summer before our freshman year of high school is when it had all started. We had hung out together with a large group of friends a few different times. Luke gained the courage to ask his cousin if he had Michaela Rehm's number. It was not long that we texted before Luke found himself asking me to be his girlfriend (over a text) and that was the start to our forever.
Luke and I had been living in West Des Moines now for a few months. We had a few friends coming to stay with us for the weekend. We planned to go downtown and do some ice skating and then go out for dinner. Once we were done skating we found a large decorated tree by the rink we thought would be a great place to get a few pictures. As we were about done taking picture Luke says, "Can we take one more" (which is odd for Luke as you might imagine). He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I of course said YES!!
