In the summer of 2011, Chelsea met one of Terry's good friends and roommate in Sumter, Robin.  While Terry was deployed, Chelsea hung out with her friend, Kelsey, who was friends with Robin.  Robin told Chelsea that she had to meet Terry when he got back; neither Chelsea nor Terry was thrilled with the idea.  In November 2011, Terry and Chelsea decided to go out with a group of friends to the race track and drag strip, where they had fun in Terry's Subaru STI.  They both seemed to really hit it off and soon began dating in December. :)

Terry is originally from Fairfield, Montana, and he knows that I have never been west at all.  He planned a trip for him and I to go for almost the whole month of August. After our first week of being there with his family, Terry planned to take me to Glacier National Park to do some hiking.  On our first hike, we hiked 2 miles up to St. Mary's Falls.  We passed through many waterfalls along the way, but at the very top was a 60-70ft waterfall. Terry was carrying my cell phone; as soon as we got to the top, he insisted that I needed to take pictures. After I took some pictures, I turned around to see Terry standing there with the ring. He popped the question, and I SAID YES!

Our wedding is set for next Spring on April 13, 2013.  The location will be at The O'Donnell House in downtown Sumter, SC.
