We first met at Sandals Church Palm Avenue through our mutual friend Michael. We grew a lot closer when our small groups merged and became co-ed.

We officially started dating a few months after we first met and only a few weeks before Anthony left for airline training. Here we are at his going away party.

Right before he left for training, Anthony took me flying. I was very nervous, but now looking back it is a very special memory for us.

Anthony flew back from training for my birthday. It was the first time we saw each other since he had left. We hiked up Mount Rubidoux together and had a beach bonfire with our friends that night. It was a great birthday!

For our first Valentine's Day, we made dinner together at Anthony's house. It was super fun and the food was amazing!

Right before Anthony officially moved to North Carolina, his family threw him a going away party. It was great to send him off with so much love from his family and friends.

We got engaged at Crowders Mountain State Park in North Carolina, a day after I moved to South Carolina.
