In August 2011 we were both in high school. It was my sophomore year and Devontre’s senior year. It was the first day of school and I was sitting in my 2nd period Criminal Justice class. This guy walks in wearing his football jersey and I thought to myself “this must be a new kid” because I had never seen him before. A few weeks later our teacher asked everyone to get into groups to do a class assignment and we ended up being in the same group. We eventually became friends and found out that we had been going to school together since middle school but never crossed paths. Not long after becoming friends, Devontre messaged me on Facebook where we had communicated for a couple days. Then I gave him my number and the rest is history!
In October 2021 we celebrated our ten-year anniversary in Asheville, NC. We started the weekend off with exploring downtown Asheville, shopping, dining, art museum and ended the evening with a comedy tour bus ride. The following day we went to Biltmore Estate. After our Biltmore house tour, we went wine tasting, rode on a horse carriage ride, and then went back to our hotel and got food delivered from a local wing spot. We woke up the next morning to pack everything up and headed home. On the ride back, we stopped at Jeter Mountain Farm to pick some apples and took a tractor tour ride. After leaving the farm, we made a pit stop at Looking Glass Falls waterfall, enjoyed the cool breeze before getting back on the road. We got home, unpacked and settled down. Devontre started playing a few of our songs from back when we first met and we were sitting on the couch in our living room discussing the memories that these songs made us think of and that is when he popped the question! It was the perfect way to end our 10 year anniversary weekend and we are so excited for you guys to join us on this next chapter of our lives! See you in Benson!
