We sat next to each other on the first day of 6th Grade - Alexis was the new kid at school, and James had a crush from the moment he saw her name tag on her desk. We flirted and dated on and off throughout middle and high school, separated when Alexis went off to college, afraid that long distance would be too hard, and after 4 months decided we were better off together. The rest is history!
We planned our engagement together, from picking the ring to planning the proposal. One sunny Saturday in July, we went on our favorite, private hike, and James proposed next to a beautiful alpine lake.
