Things all started in high school! Blake brought me home one day at the end of my freshman year. After a couple of group dates, and then one date with just the two of us, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

We made so many memories in high school! From homecomings, to proms, to parties, we were always on the go.

After a little break-up, we were back together during my first year of college.

Both of us were tired of driving back and forth so much, so Blake decided to make the change and move to Natchitoches and go to school at NSU with me.

He joined a fraternity, I joined a sorority - we were never home on the weekends!

We attended LOTS of parties.

LOTS of parties.

...

Blake supported my pageants (even though they took me away on the weekends).

And then, the pandemic hit. We lost our jobs, I turned 21 in quarantine, and we switched to online classes. During this time we only got closer.

Blake finally graduated college.

Then, I finally graduated college.

Blake continued to be the best pageant boyfriend.

Then, after months of going to all of our friends' and families' weddings, Blake finally proposed!

And in the midst of wedding planning, we found out the best news!

We couldn't wait to welcome our sweet boy! Our lives changed in all the best ways. We decided to move back home, get new jobs, and put the wedding planning on hold to be able to welcome Baby Beauden.

He is the best addition to our family!

We are so in love with this sweet boy, and we can't wait to celebrate our wedding with the best guest!
