Livingston Academy brought much agony but gave us the best gift, each other. We met in the corner stands at a Livingston Academy basketball game. Bailey says he thought Jessica was really cool because she talked about Minecraft, a video game. Keep in mind they were 15. Little does Bailey know, Jessica is trying to talk about anything other than basketball because she was drug there by her parents because her sister was a cheerleader. Being there that night was a happy surprise, but Jessica just wanted to be friends. No need to rush things, right?
Bailey was antsy to ask Jessica. 5 years of being best friends allowed us to feel so ready for life together. The initial proposal was planned for February 2021. Then we planned a trip in December of 2020, but that too was too far off. So, Bailey decided the day of. He knew he had the right ring and the right girl and his spirit was settled. How was the real question because plans 1 and 2 were gone. He picked Jess up, played dinner roulette, which we highly recommend, and sat and watched Christmas lights. Intimate, spontaneous, and light hearted, the best possible three words to describe how we want our lives to be.
