Met: We met in the summer of 2008 in the drive thru at Wendy's on 28th St. He was about 2 cars ahead of me. He let the window down and asked for my name. I incorrectly responded "Allison" but I however gave him the correct #. Lol! He was a big, cute guy with braids back then.

Dated/Fell in love: Finally, I trusted him enough to tell my real name but he soon realized I don't trust quickly or easily. From 2008-2014, we went from being friends, dating, speaking, not speaking etc. I moved around alot- UCA, Little Rock, Fort Smith, TX. We randomly kept in touch. During those years we both had a lot of growing to do. Eventually, after much growth, on both ends, and his many acts of kindness and patience, I realized this was the guy for me.

Got engaged: He called me one day and said he wanted to go look at rings. Yes, I picked out my ring myself. Although, I didn't get it that same day, I knew a proposal was coming!!Months later, on a work day, I was in the bed sleep. I heard a knock on a door and I just knew. ( I never get visitors and I had an intuition). When I looked out and saw him with roses I really knew. (He would Never come wake me on a work day!!). I opened the door, he got on one knee and boom! ( I had on a gown and possibly a hair bonnet?? Ughhh) So you know it's real haha. But here we are now....#TEAMPOOLE #10/07/17
