We met in Spanish class in high school. We sat next to each other every day, talked sports and life but never dated. We went our separate ways in college but always stayed in touch through our fantasy football leagues (which I usually beat him in haha) and over the phone. One night I was complaining to Ryan about how one of my favorite bands was coming to town and I had nobody to come with me. He offered to come down to take me on a "real date" and the rest was history. Deep down we both always knew we would end up together and that our only regret in life would be that we didn't have more time together.

It was Easter Sunday morning, we had just woken up and we were getting ready for our day and talking breakfast plans. I was putting on my makeup while Ryan was in the other room getting ready as well (or so I thought). I heard our dog Willow come running into the bathroom I turned around to see what she was doing. Then, I saw a light pink bow tied to her with a ring and Ryan on one knee. In that moment we both lost it and we knew that this would be forever and our life together was finally starting. To whatever end my love! 10.13.24
