Ian and I left Lock Haven University with something much greater than a college degree. We met in the fall of 2011 at a party through mutual friends. Ian was the "cool guy" per usual and I could not resist his flare... and the rest, as they say, is history! Or as Kelsea Ballerini says... ♫ "We were drunk when we met so we don't know our anniversary... Whoops!" ♫ We spent our first summer together in Ocean City, MD, which soon became our home.

On a beautiful June 9th morning, Ian insisted on going for a hike in my hometown of Milford, PA. A trail we had hiked once before during our first year of dating. This time, the trail was unexpectedly closed due to damaging storms the east coast experienced the prior winter. Ian, with a foiled plan, began to panic. I unknowingly insisted on doing without the hike laughing off the unfortunate closure and admittedly being a bit lazy. Against better judgement, we decided to hike Milford's Knob Trail despite it's closed status. Three and a half miles later, up, over and around a few fallen trees... we reached the peak. While I was soaking up the rewarding views, Ian had adjusted down to a single knee behind me to 'pop the question'. I seriously had not the slightest clue that this had been a part of the plan and was beyond shocked. SPOILER ALERT: I said 'YES!' Fun Fact: Though Ian got the answer he was looking for, he quickly realized he had kneeled on a patch of barbs with fish hook-like prongs deeply lodged in his knee. We pray this was not an omen of what's to come, haha!
