We met through a mutual friend. I went to my friend Jeremy's house and Bob was there playing guitar with Jeremy and some other friends of theirs. We talked about music for a bit and then talked about our love for Mopars. We became friends on Facebook for a few years and then he came back to town for a visit in November 2014 and that was it. We decided to give us a try and have been together ever since.

Some friends of ours were going to Beaver Dam State Park to camp for a long Memorial Day weekend and invited us to come see them. We went up on Thursday afternoon and when we got there decided to take a drive around the park. We found this clearing between a couple of pavilions and he told me to stop and shut off the car. It was a beautiful day and we had the convertible top down on my 1991 Dodge Shadow turbo convertible. He'd been talking about marriage and weddings and I expected him to say what he'd said in the past about weddings just being about a piece of paper. However, he didn't say that at all. He said he'd been wracking his brain trying to figure out the best way to ask me and where to do it, but he kept coming up blank. We have always shared a love of the outdoors and nature, so I told him that a place like where we were at that moment would be perfect. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and asked me to marry him right then and there. I didn't hesitate to say yes because I have known he's the one since we first got together. I think he's known since then too. We decided to get my ring later and I got to help pick it out. I love it, but I love him more.
