He was a boy, and I was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?

We met in our sophomore year of college at the Eastman School. Bradley will tell you that before he really met me that he thought I was stuck up (as if!)... but some how I managed to win him over. After running in the same circle during our sophomore year, I asked to copy his music theory homework one night, and the rest is history.

I told him I loved him (after only a few weeks) when he found my favorite hat at a party after I thought it was lost forever. I promptly told him so without thinking what I was saying, and pretended it never happened. But later that night, he told me he heard and that he loved me too. What can I say, it's cheesy but I guess that's us!

After 3 years together in Rochester, we made a cozy home in New Jersey full of music and laughter. A beauty and a beast, a band leader and a librarian, an ogre and a dragon... we've been through it all, and can't wait for more.

And now, we live happily ever after!

Bradley popped the question in Montana in Glacier National Park. We were on vacation with my entire extended family (god bless him...), but took a few days with my parents to camp in one of the most remote areas of the park. After a less than ideal camping experience - I've learned my lesson, I'm a day trip kind of a girl myself - we hiked to iceberg lake. 10 miles round trip, a few grizzlies on a hill, and desperately in need of a snack, we arrived.

Climbing over snow in late June, we made it to iceberg lake. Caribbean blue waters with glaciers floating within, but all I could think about was a snack. And where my parents were? Bradley told me they'd catch up, which I of course believed... and set off to find the perfect view, or at least one without a crowd of people standing around.

He motioned for me to come up onto a hill on the side of the lake. I was less than enthused as I had a perfect view from where I was and was dying to get into my trail mix but eventually followed along. As I was dragging my feet up there, looking out at the view, he got down on one knee. All I could say in my state of shock was "THIS ISN'T HAPPENING" to which he replied, "Oh yes, it is".
