Our story started many years ago.
I first met Blake when I was in college at UNCG. We were both on completely different paths, but seemed to be drawn to one another. Shortly after graduating, we lost contact.

Fast forward 12 years later.. when I unknowingly moved into the same apartment complex as him.
Blake was persistent in wanting to grab a beer with me. I finally gave in, and met him at one of our old stomping grounds.. Jake’s Billards.
One drink turned into many more hang outs after that. Soon, I found myself thinking about him, and smiling at his text messages.
I remember the first time we kissed. I was so nervous, but knew I had to do it. I had been thinking about it for days at that point. Eventually, I mustered up the courage to kiss him in our apartment complex parking lot. He, very obviously, was taken aback. Ya see… Up until that point, Blake had been very respectful of my boundaries, and where I was in life. He respected me as a person, and didn’t want to do anything to make me feel uncomfortable.
After that kiss, I found myself falling in love. It wasn’t hard to see that this man truly cared for me. I knew it, my sister knew it, every person we were ever around knew it.
It wasn’t long after that when he asked me to be his girlfriend while on a trip in Boone.
The feelings grew stronger, and I started to realize I couldn’t live without him.
After spending Christmas with my family, I knew I wanted to be with him the rest of my life.

Blake knows me better than anyone I’ve ever met. Apart, we are strong.. but together, we are unstoppable. Simply put, we make each other better. We were meant for one another. I can’t imagine a life where Blake isn’t in it. He protects my heart, and loves me through everything. Since finding him, I feel at peace. I know my heart will forever be in the most perfect hands. ❤️
