It’s happening!

We embraced technology and met online:) (Thanks Match.com!). On our first date, a couple days before Christmas, we found out we grew up less than 35 minutes from each other but had never crossed paths.

Two days before moving into our house, Mike surprised me with a gift bag. Inside there was a photo album which he had carefully mapped out a photographic timeline of our relationship. Surrounded by moving boxes filled with our belongings, I began looking through the album. As I turned the page the album fell open to the last page containing photos where a card asked “Will you marry me?” I immediately closed the album realizing I had just skipped to the end and as I looked up Mike was hastily trying to get down on one knee. While the proposal may have not gone exactly as planned, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. It was much like our relationship filled with laughter, happiness, and love.
