#Tinder

We both swiped right LOL!!

We met on tinder the dating website, we started talking on that for awhile till we exchanged numbers. We had a lot in common with our hobbies and love for the out doors. Our first date he took me on was a little fishing adventure. He took me to Silver lake, where he unfortunately out fished me for first and last time for many years to come lol. I ended up getting a knot in my line so I was done for. After that we went on a lot more dates and motorcycle rides. It wasn't till about June that I introduced him to my daughter. She was scared and nervous at first but she warmed up to him quickly and he warmed up to her quickly. They would go off to the living room every time he came over to color or build blocks together. I tease him to this day that he told me after we got together he always told him self he'd never date a single mom. Well here we are 5 years later and he's an amazing bonus dad/dad to all three of the kids we have together.

Our first trip together was a family vacation with my family whom he had only met a couple of times. We went to South Dakota for a whole week and stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin with a lot of people. He drove us the entire way and where ever we went. Not letting my parents do a thing. After we got back from that we found out we were pregnant and gonna have a baby in May. In October of that year we moved in together. Then came along Masen. After about 2 1/2 months old we had our next vacation together and we drove to Colorado for a 2 week long family vacation with his family! His grandpa had a lot on a mountain with campers and really great view! We did lots of sight seeing and adventures, but we also spent time with family and just sat around and relaxed!

At the beginning of the next year i started a new job and so then we had to find a new daycare and that's when and how I met one of my now best friends Shelby. He knew about her so we went and met her and talked over what we wanted and every thing and now her and her family are apart of ours!

In August on 2023 we found out we were going to be adding another one to the crew and the last to our crew! When we were pregnant with Masen we didn't find out what he was till 3 weeks before he was born but we kept it a secret from everyone. So then we decided to do a gender reveal with the last one. Hudson was hoping for a sister but soon she found out she wouldn't be getting one and wasn't happy about it. But she has now grown to love him just as much! And that brings us to where we are today 3 kids and now getting married yes we did it in the opposite order but neither of us would have it any other way! We love the little family we have created together and we are each other's biggest supporters and best friends!!
