Our story starts all the way back to 2014, so bare with me here. Ryan and I met in college at Tennessee Temple in Chattanooga, TN. We only knew each other and only talked a few times. I left after the first semester, December 2014, so we did not talk afterwards.

We did not connect again for another 5 years. On May 3, 2019 he reached out to me about scheduling games at the school I was attending and eventually said Johnson was looking for a graduate assistant coach, but at the time I had already committed to another school in Missouri.

A couple months later, July 24, 2019, he reached out to wish me good luck in Missouri. After that we did not talk much because we were both getting ready for school to start.

When COVID hit, I moved back home to Tennessee and then moved to Kentucky to coach with my old coach at KCU. Our season was over in April 2021. Ryan was playing video games with a couple of his buddies and one of his buddies mentioned to Ryan that I coached at KCU, and said that he should reach out to me. Ryan reached out and since our season was over, I went to the game to watch KCU & Johnson play. We talked a little bit after the game, but he had to get on the road. We started talking afterwards and he told me they were going to Alice Lloyd to play. I had not started back to work, so I decided to go cheer them on. After that we really started talking and started dating June 6, 2021.

I moved back to Tennessee in August 2021 and we moved in together in January 2022. June of 2023, we got our first puppy Bailey. Bailey is a year and a half brindle American Pit Bull Terrier & Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. January 3rd we got our second little one, Lily. Lily is a 5 month of Pit Bull mix.

Our story continues to grow and we want to say thank you all who has been a part of it and those who come celebrate us on November 1, 2024.
