It all started on my first day of college at NDSU. Chase came to the dorms with a mutual friend (I am sure to scope out the freshman girls) and then invited my roommate and I back to his house. We said sure because, hey, that could be our future party house right? LOL. From there we would go on to tailgating together, a couple dates, and then of course, the Christmas lights at Lindenwood. Over the next couple of years we would hang out during the school year then go long distance over the summers. After Chase graduated he decided to return home and to build a shouse (shop house). A couple months later I moved down and we started our lives together! We were excited to start this new chapter. After MONTHS of asking Chase to get a puppy he caved! We brought our little black lab Cash home! Chase thought he needed a friend but, let me remind you he didn't think we needed 1 let alone 2...so along came Bandit. FINALLY a year later Chase got down on one knee and popped the question! I was shocked! Even though it has been 5 years together time has flown by! We cannot wait to celebrate this milestone with everyone and Cash and Bandit cannot wait for mommy to have the same last name finally!
