• Started talking - June 16th, 2022, through Facebook Dating
• Met in person - 4th of July; Family Dinner BBQ at a friend's, then fireworks at Sterling Lake, rode with him in his truck, met the others at the lake, hit it off right away once we both relaxed, couldn't stop talking and laughing, sat and talked in the truck for awhile before heading back to Hutch, then went to Taco John's for the first time together (and first time for both of us, period), drove home and just talked in the truck, eventually got out and made it to the porch where we talked for about another hour, then took our first official picture together before parting ways, both knowing that we definitely wanted to get to know each other better.
• he started coming to visit on the weekends (Sun., Mon., and Tues.)
• June 24th - he officially asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said "sure." (Both of us were very shy and awkward when he did.)
• Sept. 3rd, of 2023 - he asked for my parents' blessing
• Nov. 24th - he asked me to marry him! And of course, I said "YES!!" (after I got over the shock, lol.)

• Honestly, we have already been through sooo much together, and even though long distance has been super rough, our relationship is so much stronger because of it.
• I'm seriously, like, addicted to him (and to motorcycle riding because of him)!
• He's literally my biggest earthly blessing, my best friend, my soulmate, my confidant, and my lover, all in one person.
• He has truly pursued and loved me in so many ways that I could have never imagined, and so much more deeply too.
• We've both learned and grown so much since God brought us together, and we better each other.
• He is truly a child at heart, and is constantly encouraging me to let down my guard and let the little girl heart in me out to play.
• Jesus is the foundation of our relationship, so we're confident that it will last until we're old and gray, lol.
• We're so excited to tie the knot, and to get to live life together, more fully!
