We met at a Subway in Hillsboro. We worked there together for over a year until Michael left in 2015 to pursue other opportunities. In 2017 Misty was contacted by another coworker who suggested she put together a meet-up with the “original” work crew. That’s when Misty reached out to Michael and they just never stopped talking!

It was Christmas Eve, Misty’s favorite day of the year! Michael had been dealing with car issues all week long. When she received a phone call from Michael when he was supposed to be on his way she assumed the worst. That his car had broken down again. Blinded by anger and annoyance she headed his way to pick him up from downtown Hillsboro. Little did she know Michael was waiting by the beautifully lit giant Christmas tree in the Civic Center Plaza. When she pulled up he was hiding behind the tree. She got out of the car and there was not a soul in sight. She walked around the Christmas tree to find Michael and at that moment she knew what was about to happen. He got down on one knee and asked Misty to marry him! Of course, she said yes! That was followed by Misty jumping up and down and smiling ear to ear!
