July 9, 2022 was the night that Brayden and I (Logan) matched on Bumble (a dating app). I was camping with my parents at Raccoon Lake and Brayden was at his parent's home. I texted Brayden first and Brayden replied with “What’s your ring size?”

July 22, 2022 was our first date at Texas Roadhouse in Avon, Indiana. Brayden took a screenshot of the reservation and a picture of the restaurant from that day. We had dinner and throughout dinner I (Logan) barely spoke because I couldn’t hear what he was saying because of how loud Texas Roadhouse was. After dinner, we decided to go get ice cream, and we stayed at Cold Stone for over an hour talking. After Cold Stone, we drove around in Brayden’s Mazda and he held my hand for the first time. He drove me to go see where he took his CDL class and to show me where his hotel was when he was in CDL school. We drove to Mernard’s afterwards so Brayden could look at tools. We spent over 30 minutes in that section just so he could pick out a pair of channel lock pliers. Right then, he reminded me of my dad and how I used to go to Home Depot with him when I was little to look at tools (which felt like it lasted forever). I have always said that I want to be with someone like my dad.

This is the picture I (Logan) showed some of my friends and family when I would talk about Brayden. This was one of the pictures on Brayden’s Bumble profile. This is what drew me to Brayden!

July 30, 2022 was Our third date to a race track in Shelbyville, Indiana. This is where I (Logan) met Brayden’s coworker that convinced him to go on a date with me.

August 1, 2022 was our fourth date to Olive Garden in Greenwood, Indiana. We had our first kiss in Brayden’s Mazda in the Olive Garden parking lot. After dinner, Brayden drove me (Logan) to Uncle Bill’s Pet Center and we saw this adorable puppy. We talked about us one day buying a dog together, and we bought decorations for our future house at Hobby Lobby on this date. At Hobby Lobby, we walked down the flower aisle and joked about setting our wedding date for the fall of 2025. Now, 2 years later we set a wedding date for fall of 2025! Brayden also brought me (Logan) an insulator off of a pole he had worked on and I still have it.

August 6, 2022 was the first time I (Logan) met Brayden’s parents at the Brownstown, Indiana race track, and our first picture together. When Brayden’s parents asked him how we met, Brayden told them we met through a mutual friend… we met on bumble (a dating app). His parents thought we met through a mutual friend for months until they picked up on my (Logan’s) mom calling Brayden my bumblebee.

August 15, 2022 Brayden made me (Logan) dinner after work. We rode scooters around Indy that evening and went to White River.

August 18, 2022 was the day Brayden’s car broke down by my (Logan’s) apartment on Miley Avenue in Indianapolis. He had went to Kroger after work on his way to see me to buy me flowers so he could ask me to be his girlfriend. Brayden was devastated about his car and kept saying it ruined his whole plan to asking me to be his girlfriend. Now we look back on it and laugh about that day. It was a day to remember!

August 27, 2022 was one of the first of many times Brayden drove me (Logan) around in his Mazda (Wendy) to go look at the poles he did at work. He still takes me on drives to go look at poles and explains all of the stuff on the structures to me.

August 27, 2022 was the first time I (Logan) went to Brayden’s house, and met more of his family and his boss. That day I talked to Brayden’s parents for over two hours after Brayden went to bed.

August 20, 2022 Brayden helped my (Logan’s) grandparents move to a new house. This was the first time he met my grandparents and they loved him as soon as they met him!

October 19, 2022 We got to see each other for two hours for the first time in over a week. Brayden was working in Aurora, Indiana so every minute we got to spend together was precious to us.

October 14, 2022 was the first time we went hunting together. We hunted out of a permanent tree stand that did not have any supportive bars. I (Logan) am terrified of hieghts unless I am in my personal climber, but I climbed up 30 feet with only one rope holding me to the tree just so I could hunt with Brayden.

October 16, 2022 Brayden shot his biggest deer yet, but we could not find it at first. It took us 8 hours to track the deer along with many people including a tracking dog to find the deer. It was definitely a day we will talk about for a long time.

November 10, 2022 was our first concert together, Cody Johnson. We saw him perform in Evansville, Indiana.

Our first of many Pacer games together on January 2, 2023!

For my (Logan’s) 21st birthday on January 28, 2023, Brayden drove me and all me friends on a big party bus all over Indiana. He took all of us to three different wineries and a restaurant at the end of the night. This meant so much to my parents and I.

This is one of the many times Brayden was singing to me (Logan). That is something I have always loved about him. His favorite song to sing to her is “I got a Car” by George Strait, our favorite artist. We chose that song as our private final dance song because of our memories of our first few dates with Brayden’s Mazda. We spent many hours in his car since our hometowns are two hours apart.

Our first Yankees and Reds game on May 19, 2023. We went to two of the three games in that series. The Yankees swept the Reds in Cincinnati!

On July 22, 2023 Brayden was turning 21 at midnight in this picture. He didn’t make it to midnight and threw up all over me (Logan) in the backseat of a minivan.

Our 1 year anniversary trip on August 18, 2023 to Nashville, Indiana. Brayden surprised me (Logan) with this trip and we drove all the way to the Brown County State Park Inn before I figured it out.

We stayed at Potawatomi Inn in northern Indiana on September 2, 2023. We went to Michigan together for the first time on this trip, and we played a round of golf there.

One of many rounds of golf we have played on September 9, 2023. I (Logan) taught Brayden how to golf in the first year of the relationship, and we spend the majority of Saturdays at the golf course.

One of our first weddings together celebrating Brayden’s sister and brother in law on September 23, 2023. We are always dancing together.

February 9, 2024 was the day we bought our first house together in Greenwood, Indiana!

We went to New York for our 2 year anniversary trip in July of 2024. This was Brayden’s first time in New York and he surprised me (Logan) with this trip! I thought we were getting engaged on this trip and thought it may happen on the last day. I made sure my nails were done for the trip.

We got engaged on August 2, 2024, and I (Logan) had no idea it was happening!

August 31, 2024 We asked John Downey to marry us! He had always been a special part in our lives, and has been my (Logan) second dad for as long as I can remember.
