We're getting married!

While at Elmhurst College, we met in Dr. Zambreno's English class together. We had to do a group project together. We really did not talk a ton in class until Erik began talking to Brittany in the library. Erik's first memory of meeting Brittany was at the circulation desk. He was asking her how her English classes were going. She replied, "It is my major, so I have an A." He found this cute and endearing. Erik and Brittany became really good friends from there and the rest is history.

My friend, Bailey asked me to go to brunch with her and her husband that Saturday. In the morning, Erik was rushing me out the door saying, “We are going to be late.” We were supposed to go to brunch in Elmhurst, which is not very far away. I was feeling slightly suspicious. Now I am directionally challenged, but I eventually knew we were going the wrong way. We finally arrived on a farm. (When Erik and I first met I use to live by Rockford and we would go walk around and talk to the cows because I love them and there is nothing to do in Rockford). A woman asked if we were there for the tour. I was wearing heels as I thought we were going to brunch, but Erik was a man with a plan and brought me boots to walk around the farm. We began walking around the farm and seeing all the animals. A man picked out a four-leaf clover from the ground and told me it’s going to be your lucky day. Then he asked me, “do you want to feed the cows?” I ecstatically said, “yes.” I begun feeding the cows and I was so happy! Suddenly, Erik said, “hey babe, do you have a second?” I thought to myself, is he seriously interrupting me feeding cows!?! I turned around and was totally moooooooved. He was down on one knee proposing. It was utterly amazing!
