In March of 2023, I met Justin at a bible study through Jefferson Baptist Church. I was always looking for an excuse to see him! One night I cooked a meal for bible study, and he was so impressed by the fact that I cut up fresh potatoes instead of using frozen ones. I used this as an opportunity to start cooking for him more often. I later realized that Justin is the real chef, and he was just being sweet. On April 2, 2023, Justin called me out of the blue and asked me to go to an LSU baseball game. I was so thrilled, I couldn't believe his name popped up on my phone! Of course I said yes, and two days later we had our first date. After a year of cooking, family gatherings, Bible studies, concerts, sports events, and spontaneous trips, Justin proposed on April 7th, 2024, at the LSU Botanical Gardens. It was the happiest moment of my life (so far)!! We are counting down the days to when we get to say “I do”.
