Our story started at Applebee's! We both started working there in 2017. We began as just coworkers then becoming close friends. We would stay after work to have a drink and just talk about our days. In 2019 Ryan started his career in machining, leaving Applebee's. Those after work drinks turned into dates to the movies and out to dinner, which led us to start DATING in November 2021. After a few years went by we knew we were ready for the next chapter. We bought our house together in March 2024. Working side by side, growing stronger renovating the house making it OUR HOME. That June, we took a vacation to Colorado and spent time hiking trails in the Rocky Mountains. Once reaching Dream Lake, Ryan asked a stranger to take our photo in front of the amazing view. The surprise of a life time when he got down on one knee and proposed in front of everyone! Colorado for sure holds a special place in our hearts, the place we got ENGAGED! We're still learning new things about each other every day and loving every moment we get to spend together. The count down to forever has officially begun!
