It was the end of sophomore year and we met when we were both in the library for study hall. He had invited me to a party he was having for the end of the school year. After that we hung out almost every day that summer and by junior year he asked me to be his homecoming date and girlfriend. We have been together ever since.

Vince took me on a surprise trip to Colorado where he had a RV waiting for us. For the next week we drove from Denver to Moab Utah. It was one of our dreams to go out west and see the state/national parks. On our 3rd day we reached Canyonlands National Park and immediately set out to hike a famous spot called Angle Arch. It was a challenging hike, about 2 miles and all uphill. When we finally get up there, as I’m looking out at the most breath taking view I have ever seen, Vince pulls the ring out of his sock and gets down on one knee and asks me to marry him. Truly the most magical moment of my life.
