Although Mike and I started dating the summer after I graduated from high school we have know each other since middle school. We lived right down the street from each other at one point and I went to several youth group parties at his house! We started talking through mutual friends and have been inseparable since!

I graduated from the University of North Florida in 2008 with a degree in Biology. I am currently a Sales Manager for a massage therapy clinic in Jacksonville Beach.

Mike graduated from the University of North Florida in July of 2009 with his Masters degree in Accounting. He is working with CSX in their Internal Audit department and loves it!

Mike and I have been dating for over 5 years now and his proposal was more than expected! :) He knew that if he planned an elaborate proposal that I would know what he was up to and he wanted to make sure I was surprised...He proposed on May 21st, 2009, He had told me earlier that he bought me a necklace to replace one that I had lost (oops!!) So, when he gave me the ring it was in a bigger box and when I opened it he had the ring on a necklace! I couldn't believe we were actually FINALLY engaged!!

We can't wait for all the planning and fun things to come!
