All-American Girl

We both enjoy being outdoors doing things like hiking, camping, kayaking, biking, etc. We have a great appreciation and respect for nature. We also like spending time with our families and friends as well as time for movies, video games, and the like. Both of us admire classic muscle cars and hope to restore / resto-mod a Mustang together in the future. Other than that, we mostly hang out with "Our Gang," aka all of the pets- Atlas (a Great Dane), Nova (an Alaskan Malamute), and 5 (!) cats (Coppertop, Pepper, Fancy Pants, Hobbes, and Wesley). How We Met It all started..... ...with a Mustang- a 1970 black convertable to be exact. David and I met on several occasions, including the very first time when he brought Auto (his rottie mix pup) into my dad’s vet clinic and I was the receptionist (back in April 2002), but it wasn’t until my older brother Mark and David met over David’s Mustang that it all truly started. Long story short, Mark and David became friends and we became a couple on Christmas Eve 2002 (thanks to David's nephew Dustin pushing us to call it that!). We had hung out together before at Mark’s place, but our first date was going to see Gangs of New York. What a bloody start! Haha! As you can tell, it all turned out well in the end. Our Engagement Mackinac Island, MI We’ve gone on many trips, like kayaking on the Au Sable and camping in the Porkies, but it was to be an extra special trip when we went to Mackinac Island in December 2007. David proposed on one knee on the porch of the Grand Hotel on Sunday, December 16th, 2007. Not a soul was around- we had the entire porch to ourselves. We spent the rest of the trip enjoying our new good news and doing things like cross-country skiing in the Mackinac Island State Park.
