Gage and I met during our senior year of high school through a ministry. He thought "dang who's that cutie" and I thought "oh he looks like a fun friend." After we graduated Gage reached out to me and we started talking more and more. Our first date was at iHop the night before Gage left for college. A couple of months later, we started dating and the rest is history!
It was two days before my birthday and Gage had just come to visit me in Lawrence. He suggested we go play disc golf, so we went with two of our friends to a local park. We played 9 baskets, (I dominated, obviously) and I went to go rinse my feet off in a nearby creek because they were pretty muddy. When I came back up Gage was standing behind a tree and asked for me to come over so he could show me the scores. I didn't need to SEE the scores, so I told him to just tell me what they were. He started telling me the scores, and once he was done I began to walk to the car. I had flustered his initial plan so he went to the backup which was just yelling "SHAE!" as I was walking away. I turned around to see him down on one knee, and don't remember much from there, other than the fact that I said YES!
