He proposed to me at the Hollywood Casino in Toledo. It was the most exciting time I have ever had! We got there and starting playing on the slot machines. It got very quiet and I thought I had gotten left so I rushed to finish and catch up as I spun my seat around to see where they went I bumped into Ryan on his knee on the floor. As I was about to ask him what he was doing I looked and he had the ring out in the box and asked if I would marry him. I ofcourse said yes and gave him the biggest hug and kiss! He put the ring on my hand! I was so surprised and happy that was Christmas Eve 2012!

We had always known each other a little bit from showing cattle together. We worked together for 2 years for the County and that is where I got to know him better. We didn't begin dating until September 2010. We ran in to each other at the fair and my mom was asking him about life and how things were going. I text him later that evening and we decided to go out for our first date. That first date was in Findlay at Olive Garden and when we pulled in we went to the wrong drive and I will never forget he said "That's ok we'll make it there" and he drove over the embankment and across the grass in to the parking lot... I think I fell in love then :)

We have found the half that makes us whole in each other. We both grew up in the same kind of family (actually both of us are Only Children) and we both came from the farm. We grew up driving tractors and playing in the mud and baling hay and straw it was the best thing that could have happened us finding each other. We look forward to starting our life as a couple and sharing it all with our family and friends!!
