It was a snowy day. Our two good friends Cassie and Jeff were dating at the time, and Meg was sleeping over Cassie's house during the snow storm. Jeff and Cody were out plowing when Jeff called Cassie to check in and say hi. Meanwhile, Cody was in the background of the phone call yelling to Cassie asking if she had any cute single friends. Cassie looked at Meg and asked, "Are you cute and single?" Meg shrugged and said, "Yeah I guess so?" A few days later was our "first date" at Cassie's house where the four of us watched Apollo 13... & the rest is history!

With the craziness of 2020 coming to an end, we decided to plan a weekend getaway to a Cabin in Vermont. Little did I know that Cody had a ring in his bag! We arrived on Friday afternoon and shortly after we settled in, I started cooking dinner. While fumbling with the pepper shaker, Cody was fumbling with the ring directly behind me! I hear behind me "Hey babe..." I turned around casually, and to my shocking surprise, he was down on one knee with the ring box open asking "Will you marry me?" You would've thought I had seen a ghost. The first words out of my mouth after I could pick my jaw up off the floor were, ".....Are you serious?!?" While standing there frozen in shock, Cody slowly stood up, while I started balling my eyes out. Mid-hug I thought, "Oh I should probably say something" where I managed to somehow squeeze out a "YES!" I then was able to compose myself and actually look at the ring! Vermont will forever have a special place in my heart. -Meg
