We met on May 31, 2025, at the local honky tonk, Cowboys Red River. I was there with a group of friends when a handsome man in a cowboy hat asked me to dance. Not knowing he would become my future husband, I smiled and said, “sure.” As we danced I learned really quickly that this man loves Jesus too, he made me laugh as he spun me around and didn’t take himself too seriously. Before the night ended, he asked me to dance a few more times, and then caught me on my way out to ask for my phone number. We talked all week and went on our first date the following weekend… and then many more after that. We spent time going on walks, running around the lake by his apartment after work, grabbing ice cream after The Porch (the young adults gathering at my church), making homemade pizzas, and of course, two-stepping together again. On June 27th, Tim asked me to be his girlfriend! On April 6th, Tim planned a special day to celebrate my birthday, which had been a few days earlier. He told me we were going dancing that night, so I put on my dress and boots. After dinner, he said he had one more surprise and asked me to close my eyes. When I opened them, he was down on one knee. He asked me to marry him… and of course, I said yes!!!!!
