About Us
He grew up on the coast of North Carolina.
I grew up in the burbs of Detroit, Michigan.
We met shortly after I moved into Whitaker Park Apartments in August 2003.

Using his little rat-terrier named Cricket, he lured me in!
Then some time around Thanksgiving it became official!
We’ve been together ever since!

Cricket, the instigator of our relationship and engagement…

One evening after returning home from watching the ‘Canes lose one of the playoff games on the Jumbotron at the RBC Center, we poured some wine and went out on the back deck to enjoy the warm summer evening.
Mike had sent me flowers at work and we decided it would be nice to bring them outside and turn on the garden lights. As we were watching the fireflies flit around under an almost full moon on June 10, 2006, Mike’s dog (ok, she’s our dog) Cricket went tearing off after a cat! Being such a good dog, she quickly came back when called. Mike knelt down to praise her for returning so quickly. I expected him to stand back up but he did not. The next thing I knew he had pulled something out of his pocket and was asking me to marry him.

I enthusiastically said yes!
He insists that he planned the whole thing out. Including the timing of the cat! It’s amazing, he thought of everything!!!!

Check out his website to see what he has to say.
He is just amazing!
