We met through our wonderful friends, Haley and Nick Stacy. The first time we met was November of 2016. They introduced us but the first night we met we played the game "heads up." If you don't know what heads up is, it's a game where you put your phone on your head and people give you clues to the word displayed and you have to guess the word. Needless to say, I got all of my clues from Brad. After both of us being shy for a few months, fast forward to February 16, 2017, our first date!
It was a sunny, beautiful day. We had made plans to go on a hike at Clegg Memorial Gardens located in Lafayette, Indiana, before we went to dinner that evening. As we arrived to the gardens with our fur baby, Ozzie. I assumed it was just another hike. As we approached the first ravine and bridge, Brad mentioned that he had gotten something for Ozzie that day at his work. It was a camouflage bandana. He knelt down and put the bandana on Ozzie, backwards. He then asked me if I could read what the bandana said. It read, "Will you marry my dad?" Brad pulls the ring out of his pocket and asked me to spend the rest of his life with him!
