We went to college together. During my sophomore and Ben's senior year, we both worked together as Resident Assistants at Seton Hill University. Ben was studying English Literature to become an English teacher someday and I was studying Art Therapy. We bonded over our mutual love for my bright pink tennis shoes.

On a very hot Wednesday in June we decided to take a trip to Tampa to go to the zoo. After Ben's surprise was almost blown at the entrance to the zoo, we headed in taking very few detours before ending up hanging out with the giraffes (my favorite!). Ben turned, looked at me and said, "well, Sarah," as he pulled out the box from his pocket and got down on one knee. I quickly said, "no... no way," (out of surprise) then, "yes, I mean yes!" We look forward to celebrating this next chapter in our lives with you! See you in Florida!
