Randy and I started dating in September of 2020. We quickly realized we knew many of the same people. We figured out we actually had known of each other for many years dating back to Randy's time with Frito and mine with Holiday.

When Randy decided to make it official he asked Evan and Lilah to help him ask me to be his girlfriend. He wrote a note that said " Will you be my girlfriend?" and passed it to Evan and Lilah to hand to me. This was based off a story they had told us earlier that week about kids in their class doing the same thing.

The kids and Randy formed an amazing bond very quickly. They always wanted to include him in special moments. One night they asked if he could be part of our bedtime routine of "hills and valleys". That was the night we both knew that he really meant a lot to them.

After 2 years of living together, we decided it was time to start our happily ever after and build a house together to be OUR home. We moved into our forever home in May of 2023 and spent the summer settling in and enjoying our new home on the golf course.

On Friday September 1st, the kids were supposed to leave town for the weekend. Randy and I had a Tee-time for 4pm. He was very on edge that day and wanted to go to the course early. I met him there a little bit later with the kids. After a short time he said we should just start early. I was really confused by this but said ok.. after heading towards the first hole, he turned around and said lets actually go to hole 6 (the hole Randy sponsors) and let the kids try to tee off. I agreed since we had some time to waste before they were getting picked up. We got to hole 6 and both Evan and Lilah teed off. After that, Randy was insistant that I tried to tee off. I really didn't want to since we were going to be golfing 18. He insisted we were all going to tee off, which I found odd. When I got up to the tee box I was looking around for a broken tee to use for the short hole. Randy said he found one and when I turned around he was holding the ring box on top of the golf ball he had teed up for me. I, of course, said yes! When Evan and Lilah realized what was going on they came running for a big hug. They also asked Randy if that was the reason he was so crabby that day haha!

We are so excited for our big day and to celebrate with all of you as we officially become a family!
