Katie (Michael's sister) and I were attending a bachelorette party for Makenzie (bridesmaid) where she mentioned me to Michael soon after that. On July 2nd, 2017 Michael messaged me on Facebook, portraying his fun, witty self. The very next day he walked into Chuck's Boots, where I was working at the time, and asked for my number in person. It really caught me off guard since he just messaged me the night before. I called Makenzie and Madison (bridesmaid/ best friend) to see what Michael was like because I had just given him my phone number. They said all good things about him! Michael and I decided about a week later to talk in person at the Oak Grove McDonald's. (I know, classy) We started to hang out more and on September 6th, 2017 Michael asked me to be his girlfriend in the sunflower fields. Then almost 2 years went by and on July 24, 2019 Michael proposed in Estes Park...and I said YES!
