We met online, near the end of his profile he stated, "Oh, and I don't like sushi." Near the end of her profile she stated, "Oh and I love sushi." He friended her and she had to give him a hard time about his poor dietary choices.... with that, the banter had begun. Some months later he told her that the Holy Spirit quickened his heart when he saw her picture. He said that from that moment on, he never looked at another online profile, He knew, that she was "The One". He set out to pursue this girl and love her through all her trials. He loved her with God's love... and she loved him back.

I had told him, before we get any more serious I need to vacation test you! As many of you know, I have a bit of wanderlust in me and love to travel. No man could be MY man if he does not travel well. We booked a trip to Cancun, where he passed the "vacation test" with flying colors. We played, swam, lounged, dined like kings, and laughed like kids. One day while lounging on the rooftop pool I looked up and we were surrounded by Hotel Staff, the music swelled and Cliff was in front of my on one knee. He told me how much he loved me with tears in his eyes.... my heart was overwhelmed as he pulled out a ring and I kissed him and whispered, "YES," and that was it, we were engaged! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you soon in Camas!
