It all started at dollar general asking Ben if he would like his receipt. We both had mutual friends talk us up, until we became friends on Facebook. We messaged each other our numbers and bobs your uncle.

The first date couldn’t come soon enough, we went to the 81 speed way and watched the races. Ben referenced the Talladega nights movie the whole night and Julia laughed along with it. Even thought she had never seen the movie. She had no idea why he kept saying “I wanna go fast.” Or “if you ain’t first your last.” Nevertheless we went on a second date,then weddings and hunting trips together! We started to talk about a future together and moved into an apartment. Then we started talking about marriage and building our own house! Ben proposed in the black hills on custer peak on July 5th! The wedding is scheduled for July 19th 2025. Our story will continue to grow!
