We originally met through Young Life when I was in my senior year of high school and Matt was in his freshman year of college. We continued to interact at different Young Life events the next year when we were both at the University of Nevada, Reno but didn't became good friends until our friend groups started to hang out during the second semester of my first year at UNR. We started to hang out more frequently and that's when we started to realize we both liked each other and Matt asked me if I would go to coffee with him. We went to coffee at the Hub in Reno. It was obviously a great first date and about a month later he officially asked me to be his girlfriend at Lake Tahoe on June 7th, 2018.
Matt proposed on July 13, 2020. We went to the Sand Harbor beach at Lake Tahoe to watch the sunset. We went onto the rock that Matt originally asked me to be his girlfriend on and Matt suggested that we should set up the phone and take some pictures. After a couple of practice pictures he got on one knee and asked me to marry him!
