It's a tale as old as time. Boy meets girl (online :D). Boy invites girl out for dinner. Girl tells friend where she's going in case boy is a serial killer. The rest is history! Needless to say, our story is not an exciting one but is still filled with love!

We talked for months before finally meeting to get dinner together. Our next date was a movie night (Harry Potter, of course). Mike had purchased Harry Potter themed fleece fabric (he had purchased it for that specific date). From that moment on, I knew I had found someone who was willing to ensure my happiness and I knew I couldn't lose him!

Eventually, I met Ian who instantly wormed his way into my heart. I knew then that this was a family I wanted to be a part of! And so, my work began to become the best (evil) stepmother a girl could be. :)

I planned myself a trip to Duluth as a gift for finishing another school year. Naturally, I invited Mike to join. Little did I know, Mike would hijack the trip with a proposal. I spent the entire weekend convincing my friends that there would be no proposal that weekend. I was 98% sure it would not be happening. Well, all Mike needed was 2%. After a short hike (and crazy rock climbing off the trail) Mike proposed. I responded, You little shit! and followed up with of course!

2 dogs and multiple house projects later, we can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together!
