Mark and I met at Heartland Community College. At the time, we were both taking different classes. I was studying Early Childhood Education and he was studying Mechanical Engineering. We met through our own friends that brought us together. We started off as friends and then became a lot closer as time went on. We both found out we have a lot in common and we both live 2 minutes away from each other almost our entire lives living in Bloomington IL, which we had no idea until we started talking more. What a small world! We made it official May 24, 2016! Ever since, our love has grown stronger for each other! I didn't know what love truly looked like until I met Mark. We have been through many obstacles together these past few years but in the end, we still choose each other every day! Mark proposed to me at this Air Balloon Festival we went to at Brookdale Farms in Eureka, MO on July 27, 2019! I'm so thankful God brought us together and answered our prayers! I can't wait to share our special day with all of our friends and family! Cheers to a happily ever after ❤️
