We’ve decided on Forever!

We first met through mutual friends while attending community college. We would see each other in passing while at school or at college get togethers, but never really pursued one another. Eric lived out his dream of playing baseball many states away, and Courtney attended nursing school with her nose buried in books. Social media allowed us to see what the other one was up to for those 3 years. Going out on a limb, Courtney reached out to Eric to make conversation about the Seahawks profile picture Eric had (although it was really because she thought he was cute). After chatting everyday for a little while, Eric found the perfect time to ask Courtney out. Our first date consisted of long conversation, beers, and fast-food burgers - it was the most perfect beginning to our own love story <3.

Almost 4 years had passed, and we hadn't been back to our first date spot. It was about time. We had plans to have friends over that night for Eric's early birthday party, but wanted to do something different during the day. We drove to 7 Seas Brewery with some friends, only to find the inside was closed. Before making our way to the outdoor beer garden, we had to get a picture in the spot where it had all started for us. How perfect because this was where the next chapter was going to begin. Eric got down on his knee, and after catching her breath Courtney of course said YES!
