How did the two of you meet?
We met in the ER. I am an ER nurse and he was a police officer.
Give us the proposal details! When? Where? How?
Jeff proposed on our back porch which he had decorated in Christmas lights. We both love Christmas lights so for me, it couldn’t have been any more perfect than at our house surrounded by what we love!

We make a great team and always work things out together.
