Blane & Hillary met 6 years ago June 2002 in downtown Spokane while out with friends. They have had many amazing years together.
Hillary spent 2 years in Tucson, Arizona from August 2004-March 2006 for job opportunity with her new career as a Registered Nurse. However fate brought her back to Spokane to be closer to Blane & family.
Blane proposed to Hillary September 6, 2007. She was secretly hoping for this to come soon and it was unexpected this night after a typical dinner out. Blane came up behind her in their living room wrapped his arms around her and presented a gorgeous ring while asking "Will you marry me?"
Hillary currently works as an infusion therapy RN at Arthritis Northwest giving IV medications. Blane recently decided to complete his bachelor's degree and is a student at Eastern Washington University in the construction technology/management program. He is also working part-time at Hangman Valley Golf Course, golf being his passion. To have a sport that they both could play together Hillary decided to take on golf which they are both really enjoying.
They will be spending a week at Blane's family's lake house on Lake Couer D'Alene after the wedding. This winter they will be taking their honeymoon in Maui. This will be their first trip to Hawaii!! :o)
