Cris and I have known each other since we were kids. Growing up down the street from each other, Cris and I would play together with the all of the kids in the neighborhood. In middle school, we road the city bus together and would walk home together on occasion. It wasn't until a mutual friends 16th birthday party that we actually really noticed each other. As our friends were watching a movie, a few of us went into a different room and were telling ghost stories (So cool, right?) After leaving my friends house, I could not stop thinking about Cris! I asked my friends boyfriend at the time, who was friends with Cris too, to give Cris my number. Cris eventually called (I pretended I had no idea who was calling me,I had to play it cool!!). After this phone call, the rest was history!

Eight years later, Cris and I traveled back to Wisconsin for my college graduation. I was so sure he was going to propose to me on either my graduation day or at my graduation party. Those days past and still no ring!! If you know me, you know I've been trying to be patient about waiting for this ring!!!! The last day we were in Oshkosh, I went to Becket's with my friend Annie to have dinner and drinks. Cris wanted to go to the Roxy for dinner so I decided just to have drinks with Annie and then Cris would pick me up to go to the Roxy. Of course, Cris was late picking me up and then we had to go back to my mom's because he forgot his shirt....??? I went with it lol. I walked into my moms house, my family was in the living room. Cris went into the bedroom and came back out holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers and one hand behind his back. He got down on one knee in front of my family and said "When I first met you 8 years ago, I knew you were the one" then I kind of blacked out from freaking out and seeing MY GORGEOUS RING. Cris wanted to catch me off guard and surprise me; he definitely accomplished that! Even after almost a year of being engaged, I still stare at my finger in disbelief that this beautiful ring is mine!! He did AMAZING!
