August 30th, 2019 we had exchanged numbers and began to chat back and forth. September 4th, 2019 was our first date. I had only lived in North Carolina for roughly 6 months. Sheridan invited me over to learn how to cerakote a firearm and then dinner to follow. We had the best date!

From that day forward we were inseparable ever since. We spent every waking moment possible with each other. Even on nights when i had to get up early. We naturally fell in love, and the rest followed suite. ❤️

I say, after only 3 months of dating, I looked him dead in the eye in the kitchen of my first apartment, and said, "I'm gonna marry you"

Of course every 30+ year old woman internally freaks out by making such a bold statement. Hoping she didn't scare off her suitor. For the record, he said "I love you" first!

With Sheridan everything just seemed natural, and right. He has been the most caring, and selfless man in our journey together. We both love knowing we have each other's backs. The love we have for each other has no end. He has always told me very shortly after we started dating, "I've got plans for you and I"

For our second anniversary, he took me to the Blue Ridge Mountains and stayed in a beautiful cabin in the mountains. We hiked all the way up Grandfather mountain August 9th, 2021. He pulled out a tiffany blue box that contained the most beautiful ring. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Of course I said YES! That was the most unforgettable weekend. We had so much fun exploring the area and seeing natural beauty mother nature offered.

This is OUR journey, thank you for being a part of it.
