We could say we met in a bookstore or bumped into each other at a bar, but we met the old fashioned way... on an app. His opening picture was him in jean cut-offs, so it’s still unclear how we got here. For our first date went for tacos, the best tacos, and things went from there. Since then, we have had many taco nights, game nights, and camping trips with many more to come.

I always said I wanted a private proposal and Tom took this to heart. He proposed in the snowy, beautiful Lake Tahoe, on a weekend with more snow than had been seen in years. We were out cross country skiing on a snowy day in the middle of nowhere. He kept asking for breaks on the ski trip and I was like we will never make it back! But on one break, he very nervously took of his skis and attempted to kneel down... but with ten feet of snow he more so fell into the bank. Same effect! It’s hard to remember what was said, but he said he loved me and I said yes!
