We're getting married!

We met at the school where I work and where Blake serves as the resource officer. One day, I needed his help with a student, and that simple moment — one I thought nothing of at the time — ended up changing everything. Afterward, he asked for my number. He still insists it was only for “work-related questions,” but it didn’t take long before those messages became more about getting to know me. I’ll admit, I wasn’t giving him much attention at first. But something about him kept tugging at my heart, and eventually, I decided to give him a chance. The twist? As soon as I opened that door, he suddenly thought we should “just be friends.” But I knew there was something special there. So I stayed, I cared, and I quietly kept hoping he’d see what we could be. His friends were all telling him to give me a chance… and finally, someone got through to him. Whoever that was, I owe them everything. And now, after a year of friendship and six months of dating, here we are — choosing each other for forever!
