Hunter and I have dated now for around 6 years. We met as children at church, and our families were good friends, but we did not pay much mind to each other until our high school years. (y'all know how that is. ;) )

We became friends through our mutual friends in our youth group at church. We were best friends for a couple years and saw each other date other people. It was not until my junior year and his freshmen year in high school that we started dating.

We have been to proms, military balls, graduations, and through all of life's ups and downs together. Everything we have gone through has brought us to where we are now, an engaged couple excited about the future.

We could not have done it without all of our family and friends guiding us and cheering us on along the way. We are thankful to have everyone in our lives.
