We met at a party at the end of the summer before I left for college, and we didn't think much of it. A week later we went to a concert together and after hearing my awful singing, Michael thought to himself "she's the one."
On a trip to Tennessee in May of 2021, we stayed at the house where Michael's grandpa grew up. One drizzly morning, we went on a trail ride through the mountain. After a while of driving through the woods, we hiked to a small waterfall on his family's property. I turned around and found Michael on one knee. You could hear my "YES" scream for miles.
