Matt and I met the 2nd semester of our freshman year at the University of Mary. We dated some and then I went home for the summer and we were just friends. The fall of our sophomore year, Matt came home with me as a friend for my dad's 40th birthday party and the Tuesday after we got back from that we started dating again and have been together ever since. It was 5 years this past September. Matt proposed on June 1. I did not expect it at all. We were getting ready to head to Wadena for my cousin's high school graduation and he popped the question right before we left. He always said it would be when I least expected it and it was.
