We met at Casey's Halloween Party. I had just transferred to the Bend Shopko and he was a supervisor but we hadn't officially met yet. A mutual friend invited me to go with her to the party; I was Little Bo Peep and Casey was dressed as a crack rock. We hit it off immediately and exchanged phone numbers. A month later, we were dating and have been inseparable ever since.

I had been wanting to get dressed up and go to dinner but Casey had been dragging his feet about it. Finally one day out of the blue he said lets get dressed up and go out. We went to dinner at Pastini's and when we arrived, the manager came over with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I look over and see Casey down on one knee, asking me to marry him. Of course I said yes, and the whole restaurant started clapping! 12 years later and we're finally making it official. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
