The first time we met was in 2019. Blake came across the scale with his head lowered. All you could see was his eyes right above the bottom of the drivers window... I remember giving him shit cause he would always hide his face. After that first interaction it didn't take long to share each others socials. We planned to have dinner and on our first date we were both nervous and not many words were said. Blake and I still talked and I would meet him before I had to start work. He would bring me coffee. Give a lil smooch then off to work we went. Time passes then in November of 2019 we had another date at Dans bar in New Trier. I was pretty stubborn and didn't pursue. But Blake was still trying. Time passes by and we still kept in touch every so often. Then year 2022 comes along.. we started talking again. Attempted to get together and that didn't happen. Well actually he stood me up. LOL. Guess that was payback from doing the same. LOL. Then May 7th. We went on a bike ride together. And that was the start to our journey. Blake and I would get together for drinks and would stay together. I would have to say between May and July Blake asked me to be his girlfriend many times and I was just to stubborn to say yes. But in June we officially moved in together and July we went to Duluth. July 3rd 2022 was the "officially" dating. Kind of backwards, but oh well. Many adventures and growing together in our relationship, March 17, 2024 Blake asked me to marry him. Little do people know he dropped the ring. What makes it even funnier was it almost went into the shop drain. Then 6 months later we welcomed our beautiful daughter Loretta. Now we are super excited to have our beautiful wedding with our family and friends in October!! P.S. Yes I laughed while reading this cause I had to shorten everything due to space restrictions...
