Our story began in August of 2021. Chase had been working in Morenci for a few years and I had just moved down to Arizona. We met on social media and decided to go grab coffee together at our local coffee shop, Geneivieve's. What we thought was going to be an hour of conversation and one cup of coffee together turned into an entire day of driving around and talking about everything under the sun. We didn't want to leave! From there we were truly inseparable. We both knew that each other was different and didn't want to be away from each other. Our next date was around Chase's birthday and when I asked him what he was doing, he said he didn't have any plans. I immediately said that I wanted to cook him dinner and would love to go out after with him for halloween. He came to my house and I made him his dinner and favorite dessert, cheesecake. After that we went to a halloween bash at our local bar and that night when we were driving home he asked me to be his girlfriend. I will never forget it because we were in the Jack in the Box drive through! After that we began to grow and grow close to each other. I was so happy because I truly found my best friend and he in me as well. The next big part of our journey was when he asked me to marry him. We had been wanting to go on a cruise for the longest time and I was delaying it because I hadn't gotten my passport. We were finally able to secure my passport and decided to take a cruise with Royal Carribean to Mexico. It was a shorter cruise to make sure that I was able to handle the waves and sea life. The cruise was everything I could've imagined and even more that Chase asked me to marry him! It was night two, formal night, and we were in line to take pictures before supper. When it was our turn we took the usual pictures and as we went to leave Chase said "Wait there is one more picture we need to take." I looked at him confused but shrugged and got back into the area for the picture. That is when he pulled the ring out and got down on one knee and asked me. I of course said yes! We have always been on the same page with each other and can make each other smile in only the way your soul mate can. I couldn't imagine my life without him in it and cannot wait to see what the rest of our story holds.
