We're Getting Married!

We met Spring of 2014 at Olympia Sports in West Lebanon, NH where I was working at the time. Matt came in for a pair of shoes and I just so happened to be the one that was in that department that day. He left that day without a pair of shoes, (not sure if that is a bad thing on my part or not). Matthew came back a couple days later but this time I didn't let him leave empty handed, he left with my phone number! We started talking through text which lead to phone calls which led to dates which led to... well you get the idea! Ever since that day we have been inseparable!

After we met everything just felt right, we knew we were one day going to marry each other. Austin was born in January 2015. We then moved into our very first apartment together in February 2015 in Windsor, VT. We have gone on so many vacations (mostly to Texas) but we have taken trips to Maine and Hampton Beach multiple times. One trip I will always remember is when we drove from Vermont to Texas. It was a great time we stopped at Niagara Falls, Churchill Downs in Kentucky, and so many other places, it was one of those times where we became even closer to each other than before. Matt has stuck with me through four job/career changes, helped me through college, and has been helping with my very expensive hobby (the horses) all while working and taking care of both me and Austin. We do everything together, we are always there for each other whether in good times or bad. We have had our ups and major lows but nothing can stop our love from growing.

Christmas morning 2016 started out like any other Christmas morning. Matt, Austin, and I were at our apartment where we gave each other our presents then headed over to my parents to spend Christmas Day with my family and my grandparents. After being there for a couple hours Matt went out to the truck for a couple minutes and when he came in he made me stand up. I had no clue what was going on, for all I knew he was playing one of his little pranks on me again! Next thing I know Matt is down on one knee telling me how much he loves me and he asked me to marry him! I turned ghost white (according to my family) and I started crying. When I finally realized what was happening and that it wasn't a prank, I was able to say yes!! I get to marry my best friend!!
