Our Wedding

Dustin and I met at a party at his brother's house when we were freshman in college through mutual acquaintances. At the time I thought nothing of it because he had a girlfriend of five years. I also do not really recall meeting him at this time, but he says he remembers me. Several months go by and a group of my friends and I run into him and his dorm mate at one of the dining halls at Mizzou. One of my friends was from his hometown and knew him very well and introduced us again; and again I thought nothing of it because he had a girlfriend. Later in my sophomore year I had a class with him, Introduction to Western Music, sounds really interesting right? But again I thought nothing of it because he still had that girlfriend.Then in our junior year of college everything changed. After just starting nursing school my friends and I were going to a back to school bash before our lives were completely consumed with all things nursing. As it turns out Dustin and his friends had the same idea. I remember walking across the dance floor and hearing some say "Hey don't I know you?" It was Dustin, really romantic right, but it caught my attention. So I reply with an "I think so," and we start talking. We go out to the patio where we can hear each other to talk. He had just gotten a "new" truck (new to him), and for some reason asked me to guess which one it was in the parking lot. Now we were at a GDI party. For those of you who are not familiar with this group it is an agriculture group so there were probably about 50 to 60 trucks in the parking lot. However, I somehow managed to point out that old, silver F-150 with the racing strips his mom had gotten applied for his dad, and the rest is history. Four years and 3 dogs later we are getting married in the same month we officially met.

The fall of 2016 Dustin and I decided we were going to buy a house. We had just moved to Kansas City and we were spending way too much money on rent. It is also incredibly difficult to rent an apartment when you have three dogs. We had found the perfect first house and were under contract. In a weekend in October we had scheduled the inspection and my parents were coming down for the weekend as well to view the house with us. Dustin was not too keen on the idea that we were buying a house before we were engaged or married, but he had just entered the world of work after college and could not afford a ring just yet; or at least that is what I thought. After the house inspection everyone lingered on the front porch for a while and Dustin's mom and my dad wanted to take a picture of us in front of our first home. I start getting into position for the picture and the next thing I know he is down on one knee. I think I had the ring on my finger before I even thought to say yes, but after four years I think a yes was implied. It was the best surprise I have ever had.
