It all started with a smile . . . . .

We first met when I sent Cullen a smile on eHarmony. Our first date we went bowling then spent hours walking around Chinook mall getting to know each other. We discovered we had a mutual friend, Travis, and we both dislike cheesecake. It wasn’t love at first sight but there were definitely sparks. It didn’t take long for us to fall for each other. By date number 3 we were already looking at houses together.

We bring out the best in one another and love each other for our quirks. We love to ride bikes, boxing, game nights, cuddle on the patio during rainstorms, and exploring the city. At the 7 month mark we decided it was time to move in together and have a baby…..a fur baby of course. We went to the pet store to get some fish for our aquarium and left with a cat as well. That day we welcomed Obi into our lives.

In January 2020 we went to Mexico for our friends Christine and Kris’s wedding and spent a beautiful fun week in the sun. The first day in Mexico we were having fun and I got really drunk. Cullen had to drag me out of the pool and took me to a buffet to sober up. No regrets!

On April 5, 2020, during the COVID pandemic, we took the next step in our life together. While watching Harry Potter Cullen asked for my hand in marriage; I of course said yes.
