Travis and Lucy met playing dodgeball in spring 2006. In fact, Lucy's team beat Travis'(a minor but important detail) and the following week, they struck up a conversation. It wasn't long before they were spending all of their free time together playing board games, watching Star Trek, and competing in dodgeball. In 2007 they picked out their first home together with an eye towards their future together!
Travis went down on one knee during their two year anniversary trip in Newport, OR. Lucy knew it was coming as she had accidentally felt the ring box in his coatpocket when walking to the lighthouse. Travis knew she knew, and his plan to do it at the top of the lighthouse fizzled since tourist were denied access, so a backup plan was set into place. Ok, not really. While watching some sea lions sun themselves on the rocks below, Travis refused to move on to the next destination and started to shift around uncomfortably. And ta da! Newly engaged!
