Amber & Charlie

As told by Charlie (and then edited by Amber)

The small social circles in Bend Oregon led me to meet Amber. Whether it be BBQs, the Bend nightlife, or weekend adventures; our paths seemed to cross on a continual basis. Initially, I was attracted to Ambers beauty and outgoing personality; I always found myself seeking her out for conversation. Hoping that the feeling was mutual, I began pursuing our relationship further. Elk Lake Resort, summer days on the boat, El Caporal, all led us to spending time together and our bond began to grow.

It was after a year of dating that I realized Amber was truly the one for me. She balanced me in so many ways, supporting me in my dreams yet challenging me to break free from the comfort bubble I had become so accustomed. We began to spend a lot of time together, just the two of us. It was in these times, that I finally realized the blessing that was in front of me.

On Christmas Day, 2008 I asked Amber to be my Wife. I am so excited about our future, learning even more about each other, countless adventures, raising a family and discovering all that our great lives have to offer.
