We met at a small party my first apartment roommates decided to host. We didn't have any furniture at the time so we sat on beach chairs. It was small, with just their new work friends. One of which brought Garrett. He was super shy and quiet. I had just gotten off work, headed home, and got into my pjs before deciding to come out and say hi. I called dibs on him and asked him for his number. Although I wasn't too sure I could date a guy with better eyelashes than me, we haven't spent much time apart. Now were stuck together!!

It was the Fourth of July. We spent the week up in Oscoda, Michigan at his grandparents lake house. We spent the Fourth of July up there two years prior and loved it. We went to the small towns parade and wound up taking 3 cars. Long story short, we pulled over, had to coordinate cars and I thought nothing of it. Garrett was silent and I was hungry. Ronnie, Garretts step-dad, said that we would be going to this beach area because Garrett's cousin Amelia wanted to. We pulled up, and started walking toward the beach. I think we both blacked out after that. He had this beautiful set up with roses all around, asking me to marry him. Of course I said yes!
