Stephen first met Christy in the woods riding 4-wheelers. They were introduced by mutual friends.
He had never had much interest in finding a girlfriend.
He lived for hunting season and loves the
outdoors.
In fact, he had scrimped and saved and bought himself a brand new John Deere tractor,
because the one thing his grandfather always wanted was a new tractor, but he never had one.
Then he met Christy and it wasn't long before he sold the tractor to make a down payment on a house.
He took her parents over to show them the house and ask permission to
ask Christy to marry him.
On the pretense of going hunting in Nov. 2006, he took Christy out in the woods
where he popped the question.
