We connected in the early summer of 2023, right when Bobby was exploring life in retirement from his sprinting career and Natalie was getting settled into her move to Dallas. While we became fast friends, the timing wasn’t quite right for a relationship at that point. It took Bobby four months of persistent pestering before Natalie finally agreed to go on a date - and once we did, there was no turning back. In the end, the timing couldn’t have been better. After those first few dates, we became inseparable. Every moment together only confirmed what we both felt from the start - we had found our person. We weren’t just soulmates, we were best friends, partners, and everything we had been looking for in each other. Since then, we’ve shared so many incredible moments - traveling to new places, becoming part of each other's families, playing sports together, and navigating life side by side. We both feel so blessed and grateful to have a partner that supports, pursues, and loves the other the way God intended. Each day we have had together has brought us closer and we love the life we've built together. As we plan our wedding and look ahead to the future, we’re filled with excitement and anticipation. We cannot wait to continue exploring the world, start a family in our new house, and share a lifetime of love, laughter, adventure, and growth. We’re beyond grateful for the memories we’ve already made and for the incredible partnership we’ve found in each other. The best is yet to come and we’re so ready for all the joy that lies ahead. We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you and start the rest of our forever together.
