Dawson and I met in the summer of 2014, when he was 15 and I was 14 years old. We became best friends within a short period of time, spending every day together that summer. The friendship grew stronger throughout the next two years, eventually leading to a relationship in March of 2016. Our relationship has endured many of life's hardest and happiest moments. We created our little family by adding Kenai, our puppy, to our lives. Our relationship evolved when Dawson proposed to me while we were visiting my family in Minnesota. He got down on one knee at a beautiful nature preserve down the street from my grandparents house. The proposal was very intimate, as it was only the two of us. That didn't stop Dawson from capturing the moment though. He caught the very special moment with his drone. We are so excited to start our lives as a married couple and continue our adventure together.
