We met while attending Oakland University but fast forward 2 years later (8.25.17) and I get a random text from an unknown number while attending a Lions preseason football. The texts reads.. "a brady jersey? really?" If you don't know, I am a huge Tom Brady fan and the Lions were playing the Patriots that day. The two of us met up after the game and the rest is history. We owe all our thanks to Tom Brady for setting us up. ;)

New Years Eve 2022- Glen Arbor, MI Friends trip at our friends Rebecca and Travis's family cottage. While at the time Ben and I had been dating for over 5 years but, I didn't suspect a thing. We drove up to spend time with 10 of our close friends. We had wine tours planned and football to watch. The morning before we left for the wineries, our friends decided to take photos by the water. Ben was starting to act a little nervous but still didn't think anything of it. After many of our friends did couple photos, Ben and I went next. We were standing there smiling for the picture when Ben turned to me and said some short and sweet words and then got down on one knee. I was SHOCKED and speechless. I obviously said Yess!! We called all our family and friends and celebrated with Traverse City wine tours and later rang in the new year with my FIANCÉ. It was the best day ever!!! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
