Natasha had just moved in all of her stuff into her apartment in Rexburg the day prior. She was rooming with one of her best friends and became really good friends with the others. On this evening, they decided to run and grab some drinks! On their way back to the elevator, someone yelled to one of the girls in the group. This guy had ran over to say hi to Natasha's friends. This guy happend to be Matthew.

From on they all started to hang out, which led to Natasha and Matthew playing endless card games of 'Speed'. After a few weeks Matthew had asked Natasha if she would want to go on a date. She had said yes!

Matthew and Natasha's first date was with a group of their friends to an Escape Room in Idaho Falls. Matthew had picked up Natasha and had brought her the prettiest flowers! After a few weeks Natasha had decided that it was probably best that they would just stay friends. And they did! Spring break kept them both busy with Matthew now working Full time and Natasha starting to work part time preparing for the spring semester classes.

Natasha was getting ready for a flight to Las Vegas to attend a concert with her mom for her birthday. The flight was looking really rough for someone to fly standby. Matthew coincedentally was headed home to visit family and friends that weekend. He had offered the day prior to Natasha to take her but she declined. On the day of the flight, plans changed and Matthew and Natasha ended up driving together. On the drive back Matthew had driven out of his way to pick Natasha up. On this drive they decided that they would start going on dates again.

The summer was close to an end with Matthew driving Natasha to say goodbye for a month while she went on her Europe Study Abroad. On this trip they kep in contact while both keeping busy. Natasha had actually left notes for matt to read each week that she was gone.

Matthew and Natasha had planned a small walk on a nature trail in rexburg. At this point the conversation of marriage had come up a few times. Concluding the walk they drove to a shop and ended up looking at rings to get ideas! Natasha found one that she absolutely loved (little did she know then that was going to be the one she was going to get).

Matthew had tried to convince Natasha to go to a Skull Cave with some of her siblings, and something fun to do prior to the semester starting. She had said no due to not feeling overly well. That day they had headed back to rexburg where they spent the evening putting a puzzle together, eating dinner and talking. Next thing you know Matthew is on his knee asking for Natasha to marry him. Tears streamed down her face as she said YES!

As they have loved the journey getting to this memorable moment in their lives, they would love if you all would be able to celebrate the beginning of their adventure...
