Some stories are serendipitous and some are a just little more real life. Ours starts with an incredibly long road trip from WSU to Corvalis, a brief run in at Taco Bell and ultimately at a beer pong table sharing competitive spirit for winning. Fast forward 11 years, yes-11, and we finally were on a trip we had talked about for years-Ireland! Chris was stressed about traveling, I figured it was the 12 hour flight, turned out it was him trying to sneak the ring through multiple countries security check points. Standing on the Cliffs of Mohr in March he got down on one knee (using a towel he stole from the hotel to keep his jeans from getting muddy) and asked if I would marry him.
