We had the same Chemistry class together Spring semester at Butte College. We would run into each other every Wednesday night at the Crazy Horse bar down town Chico. One of the first times we ran into each other at the bar he was too shy to come up and say hello, so instead he would send his friend over. Eventually, he became comfortable enough to swing me around on the dance floor and in September, on a Wednesday night, we had our first kiss. On October 1, on his couch at his 5th street house, Michael asked me to be his girlfriend.

We always go camping in April at Sea Cliff State Beach right near Capitola. A couple of our friends had decided to come along. Before the trip Rachel (my MOH), had informed me before that she wanted to go to Wilder Ranch State Park, which is near our campsite to take Instagram photos. Because she takes her Instagramming very seriously, I thought nothing of it. Fast forward to us walking along the ocean bluffs at Wilder Ranch, snapping photos, and the tide starting to rise. I decide that the water is getting too close and start to walk back up to the path. When I realize nobody else is following, I walk back around the bluff to find Mike bleeding. He had fallen from nerves and scraped his knee (he still has the scar). My friends and brother inform me that Mike and I need to take a photo together. As I stand next to him smiling, I can feel him shaking. After asking him if he is all right, I turn to walk back towards the path then hear my name "Sarah Ann Bradley". When I turn around Mike is on one knee and pops the question.
