It was my 2nd year at Southern Union in a boring Biology class until a handsome man with blue eyes and blonde hair comes up to me and asks me, "Do you know how to do this?" I was just as lost as he was. So, we decided to go to the library one night. We did not study at all and probably failed our test that we had the next day. But it was the start of the best journey of my life. We didn't talk much afterwards. Then, one Friday night, I got a random message from him asking me to come hang out with him and a couple of his friends. I didn't think much of it and decided to go. I had the best time and all of his friends were so welcoming. Luke and I hung out every single day from then on. The following Friday he asked me to be his girlfriend. I guess when you know, you know.

Everything happened so fast looking back on it. A week from the first time we hung out, he told me that he had a surprise for me. At this point I was crazy for this boy. I was so excited. But a little nervous as well. He didn't tell me anything except the time that he would pick me up. The ride felt like forever and we came to a point where he told me to cover my eyes and to not peak. (Hm, he already knew me) The road was super bumpy and I half joking, half serious said, "Are you taking me somewhere to kill me?" (I might watch too many Lifetime movies) He just told me not to peak. So, we finally come to a stop and he gets out to open my door and we are at this pond and the sun is setting. He brought a blanket, a candle, and a rose. I swear it was something out of a movie. He played some music off of his phone and Porch Swing Angel comes on and he asks me to be his girlfriend. (Spoiler Alert: That's our first dance song) I played hard to get and told him "I'll let you know later." But we both knew the answer to that.

Back story, I am the BIGGEST Bruce Pearl/Auburn Basketball fan you can ever meet. Luke called me around lunch on March 12, 2021. He told me that he did some work for a lady and she is letting us go into the Arena later today. He goes on and tells me to dress nice because I am going to want to take pictures. Well, if you know Luke Davis, HE DOES NOT LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES. So, I thought that this was odd. I told my mom that I thought that he was proposing today and she totally blew it off even though I said that he told me to dress cute. Then, my mind immediately goes to "I'm going to meet Bruce Pearl today" and "I am going to meet one of the players." I start freaking out. I run upstairs and text my friends to tell them that one of my dreams is coming true today. Little did I know that it was a different dream that was coming true. I have never seen time move so slow before. In my mind I was getting ready to meet Bruce Pearl. So, I was ready to go! My parents dropped me off at the Arena and my heart is POUNDING. Luke takes my hand and we walk around and I'm on edge any time we turn a corner. We walk down to the court. But we couldn't get on it because they had just re-waxed the floor since the season just ended. Luke tells me that Bruce Pearl has already left for the day, but he left us a present to make up for it. So, we make our way back up to the seats. I see 2 bags. One with a blue ribbon and one with a pink ribbon. Luke suggest that we open it together. I open the bag and it is a basketball jersey signed my Bruce Pearl! I start freaking out and then Luke tells me to look at the name where it says "Mrs." I realize that he is proposing and start bawling my eyes out. He tells me to take off my mask while he takes his off (#CovidThings) The fun didn't end there. We got to take pictures in the Presidents Garden. He also surprised me with 2 different parties. One with both of our families and one with our friends. It couldn't have been better.
