We're getting married!

Blake and I met in the summer of 2020, I was staying at his aunt's, also my godmother, while my house was being remodeled. Blake stopped by one day because he didn't recognize the car in Cindy's yard. It just so happened to be mine! Blake walked in the house and I was sitting at the counter talking to Cindy. He came in and started talking to her but he never spoke to me! However, I must have made an impression, because he never stopped coming over once he realized I was staying there. As time went on, we started hanging out some at her house and around town and we hit it off. In the past year, we've gotten our own house, have a fur baby, and continue to build our relationship every day!

So, to give a little backstory, when we first moved into our house, we had a housewarming party and Blake cooked a delicious deer stew for our family and friends. Fast forward to September 2021, he says that we should do something like that again because it had been almost a year since. I was all for it and was excited to have everyone come over again. So everyone was there, hanging out, and it was time to eat. Blake gathered everyone and said, "Daddy is going to pray over the food and then I'd like to say something." My eyes shot over to one of my friends... I didn't know what to think. So Mr. Carl prayed, and then Blake took the center and asked me to stand with him. Now in my head, I thought he was just going to thank everyone for coming, but boy, was I wrong. He goes, "I know we did this last year when we first moved in, but that's not the reason for the stew tonight..." and got on one knee! My jaw dropped and I started tearing up and I said "YES". Everyone was smiling and clapping for us and we had the biggest grins on our faces! October 2nd is a night we'll never forget and I can't wait for us to be Mr. and Mrs. Proctor!
