David & I met at Buffalo Wild Wings in Bellingham. It was after a year of knowing about each other that David finally said hello to me (to be fair, I didn't know David's name until well after the first hello, I referred to him as The Loft). I was told by our manager Bre that David once said he would never date someone he worked with so I had given up any hope of David & I dating. Until one day I threw a carrot at Smellsey in the back of the restaurant. That's where our story began :-)

David popped the question at one of my favorite spots to hang out on a Friday night in Bellingham, Silver Reef Casino. When my parents were living out in Washington too, we spent many nights there. So, when my parents came to visit one weekend in June, David invited a bunch of friends, some of their parents came, and he got down on one knee while we were all hanging out at the bar talking. It was wonderful! It was a very special night for us, especially for me since my parents were able to be there even though they were living back in Minnesota! We are so excited to start this chapter of our lives with all of you! See you in Minnesota :)
