Cody met me for the first time at the Lions Club carnival in Graham. I was volunteering in the corndog and lemonade booth and sold so much food to Kerry and Phyllis (Cody’s parents) that their hands were full. I remember Kerry told me to take his wallet out of his shirt pocket, pay myself, and then put the change and wallet back in his shirt pocket! After our interaction, he walked over to Cody and told him he really needed to come buy a corndog.

When Cody walked over to buy a corndog, he recognized me. A mutual friend had shown him my picture and offered to set us up on a date. Cody says he tried to come back and ask me out in person the next night, but the carnival got rained out. He had to settle for telling the friend to go ahead and set us up.

Our mutual friend called me, told me Cody would like to go out, and gave me his number. I didnt remember Cody from the carnival, but said friend had such great things to say about Cody, I couldnt quit thinking about him. It took me an entire month to work up the courage to call and ask him out. Cody immediately took charge, and we went out on a date that very night, August 23rd, 2024. At the end of the night, we both agreed it was the best first date we had ever been on. As my mom likes to say, we've been inseparable ever since. God has blessed me with a partner who is above what I could have ever asked for, thought of, or imagined. It’s hard to believe that our entire lives, we were each just one town over.
