We were neighbors for several years while growing up and never thought more of each other. The kind of friends you went over to their houses and played Guitar Hero with. All throughout high school we were good friends. It was Trinity's junior year of high school and Christofer's sophomore year, and Christofer pursued her for several months before she finally gave in on January 1st, 2011.
It was the Sunday of the annual Boater's Breakfast our whole river family makes it a tradition to go to. We were supposed to get quite the storm that day, the sky was very dark and wall clouds were rolling in. After the breakfast, we went to our favorite beach where everyone gathered around. The weather turned out to be perfect, and Christofer revved up the engine in the Old Bayliner, and the next thing I know he was down on one knee. I ugly cried, and of course said YES! #ABoatToBeBartons
