Our Story
The Meeting
Seth and I met through a mutual friend. I was spending a summer in Boone, Iowa for an internship through my college and, once I had seen all there was to see in Boone I would visit a college friend who lived in nearby Ames. Seth attended Iowa State University in Ames and had gone to high school with my friend. Our first meeting was electric, and Seth promptly starting romancing me over games of Shadowrun and bottles of Ames tapwater (which was a godsend since Boone subsisted on well water!) It was a summer romance that neither of us wanted to end…The Engagement
I had just returned from a family vacation to Jamaica. We were sitting on his couch and I was attempting to prepare him for the interrogation over “where our relationship was heading” that I knew my mom was planning on giving him the next day. I was reassuring Seth that I was not expecting anything and that he could just ignore her, when he turned to me, held out a ring, and just said, “So, will you?” I, of course, didn’t see the ring, had no idea what he was talking about, and just looked at him in confusion. Eventually I figured out the question and started hugging him and crying. When I calmed down, I even managed to say yes.
I can't wait to see where our story will go from here!
