Guess Who's Getting Married?!?

Haha well not me, if that's what you were thinking. That will come in its own time. :) But today I'm talking about my older brother, Christopher! Him and Nicole met when she was a sophomore and he was a junior in high school. They had Spanish class together, and Chris made a deal with the teacher that if he could sit next to Nicole, he wouldn't talk (haha ya right...that's an impossible task for Chris to do). Anyway after becoming good friends, they eventually started dating. Here's a couple pictures of them from high school dances they went to together. 





Now let's fast forward to the present. Chris returned home from serving a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on May 9th. Before we knew it, Nicole and Chris started dating again. It didn't take long before they realized they were meant to be together.


Last night Chris proposed to Nicole. He did so by having her go on a scavenger hunt around our city to places that held significance to them, such as where their first date, first kiss, and first time talking about getting married was. It was sort of like a walk down memory lane for her. The final clue took her to a lookout spot over the whole city, where Chris was waiting for her. He then got down on one knee and proposed. You can guess what her answer was. :) 


We are so excited for Nicole to become a part of our family. She has so many wonderful traits that we love about her.  Congratulations Chris and Nicole!
