All Kate asked for was someone that "hunts, fishes, and drives a truck." Cole checked off all the initial boxes, and every single box after that. Mrs. Kelly Hazelwood planted a seed in both of us, and after weeks of texting and talking, we met for our first date on May 3 in the Home Depot parking lot. 4 days later we were officially dating. We became inseparable and knew from the start we were going to get married. We had quite the first few months: weddings, beach trips, road trips, and fixing up Cole's house. After every trip and date, our feelings were validated and then some. We knew from the fist night we met, we were it for each other.
