It all stared the first night we met, the summer before our senior year at a friend's cabin on Lake Emily. You could say Nick knew from the very beginning, because when I walked through the door he said, "I'm going to marry that girl someday." and look at where we are now. A lot has happened since that warm summer night five years ago. We started dating a few months later, got a puppy together after dating for awhile, moved to Arizona for two years where Nick graduated from MMI, rescued another dog together (because one is never enough), moved back to Madison, Wisconsin for two years, got engaged, bought a house, found a kitten in our woodpile that we just had to keep (yes, Nick too), and are now getting ready to get married and spend the rest of our lives together.
