We met one night when Michael was hanging out with my cousin, Jaye. I had gotten home late after a horse show and they were in the kitchen cooking scrambled eggs and sausage. We all decided to stay up and play a few rounds of Horse-Opoly. We've been friends for 7 years now!

On a Sunday that I didn't have to work, Michael told me that he was taking me hiking somewhere I'd never been. We loaded up the dogs and headed out. When we turned onto a dirt road with a little sign that said "Swinging Bridge" on it I was so excited! We hiked down to the bridge and let the dogs check out the river. As we were heading back across Michael tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and he was down on one knee! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you!
