Cheers to happily ever after

We met at OnTrack Nutrition in Aberdeen, SD where we both loved to work and spend our extra time. There we occasionally, but not often (because I was nervous to talk to him) exchanged small talk. I often chose to work on my homework/lesson plans at OnTrack just so I could stay a little longer, hoping Kirby would come in. Even then we never spoke much more then a "hi." That all changed when our mutual friend, Brenda suggested we all 3 go out for a drink. I have never seen someone drink their beer so fast and "have to go." This left Kirby and I on our own with full beers and probably food on the way. Hours had past, several beers were drank and I knew this guy was something special. From then on we coordinated our time at OnTrack Nutrition, started working there together, and even made those craft beer dates a weekly thing. On March 13, 2020 Kirby proposed right where we met at OnTrack Nutrition and let me tell you....I can not wait to be Mrs. Kragenbring.

Unbeknownst to me OnTrack Nutrition would change my life forever. I would come in almost daily when I wasn’t working and never thought much of it. I would help out Brenda (the owner of OnTrack) on occasion doing dishes and whatever maintenance she needed. One day my reasons for going changed from a healthy meal to seeing the cutest girl I had seen. I would go everyday hoping Tristen would be there and the days she was I would do my best to stay around and help even though I was much too nervous to even talk to her. I remember leaving OnTrack after Tristen had and telling Brenda "that girl is very cute" but I was still too nervous to talk to her. I would often do Brenda’s workout challenges then one day she got clever, I did not know what she had planned but I am sure glad she did it. Tristen had just become a member and was getting more involved with Herbalife. I needed to do my measurements for the challenge and Brenda offered to show Tristen how to do them. She asked if Tristen could take mine and being the nervous ball I was, I said “sure!” and laughed because words are hard. Tristen started measuring my arms and Brenda watched, smiling the whole time, then brought up the idea we should go to Pounders. Both of us being HUGE fans of Pounders said yes. On my way to Pounders I had saved Tristen’s number in my phone because she was my “Coach” for this challenge since she took my measurements. Consequently, she was Coach Tristen in my phone for quite a long while (its still her name in Snapchat). At Pounders we all ordered beers and some appetizers. I don't think Brenda took a breath while drinking hers when it was gone said she had to go. Leaving me too nervous to talk to Tristen. This could have been awkward, but it wasn’t, we hit it off so fast and stayed there talking for hours until she had to go to work. I knew after that night that she was special and that I was going to try to play it cool, but I could not, I was smitten and wanted her to be in my life.
