One night in December, Chloe was going over to the Fitzgerald-Partosan household for a Christmas party. Going over she thought it would just be her friends Lainie and Brandon. But they had invited Carson, a guy from their church that was on Christmas leave from the Military. Carson and Chloe connected and started hanging out together more the next few days with Lainie and Brandon and then more by themselves. On Christmas Eve they all went to a church service and then to a late dinner at IHOP when Carson asked Chloe to be his girlfriend! In March, the four of them went camping in Coos Bay for Chloes birthday and Carson surprised Chloe with the proposal while they were starting the fire!
