Owen and I's story starts back in 2020. Owen had been good friends with my cousin Sadie for about 2 years. My older brother Mitch and my older cousin Landin would regularly get friends together to go play volleyball at Riverside Gardens Park in Leo, so my cousin Sadie asked all of her friends to go. This included Owen and I. That is when Owen and I started to see more of each other. We all played volleyball together and went Ice skating. We continued to just see each other in passing for another year. My senior year and Owen's Junior year everything changed! For the first semester at Dwenger we both had B lunch. Well I had a routine of going to the chapel during lunch for decade club and I noticed my cousin's friend Owen in their everyday as well. I told my cousin Sadie about seeing him and she suggested we go on a date. I was not interested and thought she was being silly, but Sadie is a persistent girl. Little did I know she had went and talked to Owen and told him that he should start talking to me. Not to long after that Sadie put the three of us in a very well intended but awkward group chat haha. Owen didn't say to much in the chat and eventually just texted me separately. From their Owen and I talked everyday. Owen and I smiled at each other everyday as he walked out of the chapel. after about a month of talking Owen and I went on our first date. Owen came to pick me up at my house with a bag of potatoes and a gallon of apple cider after a long day of potato digging at his grandparent's farm. We went to Zianos and then I spilt leftover fettuccini all over the floor of his car, which he didn't seem to mind. Then we went and got ice cream and talked for another hour. Owen asked me to be his girlfriend on December 12th 2021. After nearly two years of dating Owen took me back to the park where we met for a picnic with my cousin Sadie and her fiancé. That is where he asked me to marry him. <3
