On the last day of Clash of Classes, our college set up a water slide past the football field. It was a time of community for everyone and celebrating the year to come. The time came for Joe to slide down and at that exact moment, one of the Koertner twins ran straight across, kicking him right in the head. I came up after my last slide and found him, a freshman hurt and alone. My mother instincts kicked in and went to see how he was. The rest is history.
I had set up a "girls night" sleepover for the two of us in his parents basement. Movies, pizza, and rootbeer floats (with face masks that he hated). He was hesitant to do this with me since I brought it up. Turns out he was planning something the whole time. That whole week he had been giving me rocks and faking that he was gonna propose. Then this night he did it again. While choking up he told me, with this rock I want to spend the rest of my life with you. To no one's surprise, I said yes!
