I met Cameron shorty after moving back to Texas in 2019. I moved in with my best friend and at the time she was working at a bar in the stockyards famously known as PRS Saloon. While working there I made a lot of new friends. One in particular was Gill, she was my favorite because she kept a heater behind the bar in the winter. If you know me, you know I get cold in July so working at a bar in the winter was challenging for me. One night I was sitting behind the bar hogging Gills heater when Cameron came over and said, what are you doing on the floor. I just laughed and explained I was cold, but money needed to be made. He turned his shirt into a crop top and went around the bar selling my shots for me so I could stay warm. We had a couple laughs and thought nothing of it at the end of the night. Gill had other plans, for weeks she would make plans, so we were all together and eventually made sure we exchanged phone numbers. The next time I saw Cameron was at LJT music festival. We were pretty inseparable the whole week. Cameron made sure my friends and I got on the bus every night and made it home safely. From then it seems like everything just fell into place. I lived in Stephenville; he lived in Fort Worth. After only a year we found an apartment in Fort Worth and adopted our sweet baby Apollo (our dog/child). We ended up working at the same job, same hours, and same position. Most people who spend 24 hours a day with their partner go insane. We did at first, through trials and tribulations we found a balance for us. Because of Cameron I experience a life I thought wasn’t made for me. From Nascar races, to NCAA Championships, New states, and endless concerts. Cameron is my safety blanket or my superhero cape I’m not sure which but when he's around I know I’m strong and capable enough to do anything. He’s my favorite person.

I met Amanda in 2019. Travis and I were regulars at a bar called PRs Saloon in the stockyards and would go out there every weekend. In April of 2019 one night we went to PRs, and we noticed they had hired some new girls. I saw Amanda and was instantly drawn to her. I was nervous to approach her at first and kind of just stood on the side of conversations between her and some friends. After some liquid courage I finally felt like I saw an opening to talk to her. Of course, this was when she was sitting on the floor cold and tired from a hard night and I asked her “why she was on the floor?” (very smooth opening line). She said she was cold and having a rough night selling anything. I proceeded to walk around the bar with her tray and jello and politely made it mandatory to purchase from her and tip her. After that we really hit it off. I invited her to float the river with us and of course the day I invite her they weren’t doing floats because the water was too low. I thought for sure she’d think my planning skills were terrible (they are) and that I invited her to something lame. Lucky for me she didn’t notice my lack of attention to detailed planning (yet) and still had a great time as I changed plans that day. A few weeks later we went to LJT fest in Stephenville and that’s when we really started to get close. We spent all our time together and I made sure she made it home safe every night. Fast forward to now and we are inseparable. From hard times to easy times we’ve battled through life together for 6 years and have always came out on the other side stronger together. Being able to see her individual growth over this time has been a privilege of mine and I wouldn’t change anything about our story and where we are today as individuals and as a couple. She accepts me for all my faults and loves me for who I am. She’s my favorite person, my comfort, my life and my world. I look forward to everything the future holds for us. Amanda, not just the light of my life but the hope and love in my heart. My forever person.
