Blake and I went to the same high school and always knew of each other, but our story didn’t truly begin until years later. When Blake reached out after graduation, something felt different—what started as a simple conversation quickly turned into talking every single day. Even when I wasn’t ready for a relationship, Blake never stopped showing up with patience, kindness, and intention. Eventually, I agreed to hang out on one condition: he had to bring Chick-fil-A. He did, and from that moment on, we never stopped choosing each other. Three years later, we’re still falling in love, still grateful, and so thankful that our forever began with a leap of faith (and Chick-fil-A).
