Caleb and I first met back in college, but not because we attended the same school - Sarah attended UW-Madison and Caleb UW-Platteville. Freshman year I met Malia, who would become one of my best friends. She was dating Zach (Curly), Caleb's older brother. We can't specifically recall the first time we met, but it did not result in us dating. It wasn't until a couple of years later, post-college, after Curly and Malia were married that Malia (the wonderful person that she is) started "hinting" that I should date Caleb... I'm pretty sure she said something to Caleb as well. This went on for probably a couple of months. Eventually Caleb texted me (thankfully Malia had provided my number to him previously). I guess the rest is history.. and all thanks to Malia :)

We went Up North for the extended Labor Day Weekend. Saturday was a beautiful day. We spent most of the day hanging out with everyone at the cabin. Later just Caleb and I went out for a little date night, trying out a local brewery and grabbing some dinner. Back at the cabin we sat and enjoyed the fire before everyone set out for an evening cruise on the boat. Caleb asked to stay back. Little to my knowledge, we hung back due to Caleb's ulterior motives. We went and sat on the pier to enjoy the last bits of daylight. Then Caleb got down on one knee. I, of course, said yes!!!
