Once upon a time in a land far far away (Portland) there lived a young lady by the name of Francie. Now Francie had enough of being single so she made a love potion (in Octoberish) to attract her one true love, this is where Patrick enters. After having been ignored by Francie for a whole week the two eventually started messaging back and forth sharing fun pictures, like the northern lights from her airplane window. After a long wait they met up in the booming port town of Centralia for coffee. Sparks flew! ⋆｡°✩ As January rolled around a MASSIVE snow storm rolled into town (oh noo!), when Francie went outside to drive up to Centralia she realized her car was FROZEN TO THE GROUND! After pouring hot water on her tires for what seemed like hours she called her dear friends, the Parkers (thanks!) to drive her to the train station. This story doesn't end here, there was a mudslide on the train tracks so she had to take the BUS! After arriving at her destination Francie and Patrick had a lovely day filled with quesadillas, bowling and walking up hills in the mud. At some point they professed the feelings for each other and it was awkward (if you know them you know they are awkward people). They then went to go await Francie's return bus to Portland... it didn't show so to avoid the cold they went and ate a pretzel! After like 2 hours the bus never showed up so Patrick being the nice guy he is drove Francie all the way back to Portland. This is when Francie knew he was the one. Over the course of the next year they kept meeting in Centralia for fun adventures filled with Mass, coffee flights and a new found love of mead. Then one summer afternoon Patrick asked Francie to marry him. She was unsurprised because the jeweler accidentally called her that the ring was ready but she said yes anyways. The End (Beginning)
