So Brad and I met on Facebook dating back at the end of summer 2023. We started off as friends just hanging out on occasion. Then on October 23rd, 2023. I asked Brad if he wanted to date officially and become exclusive. He said “yes” and we celebrated with dinner that night at P.F. Chang’s. We were incredibly excited to get to know each other. We also love Jesus and want to serve Him. We’ve experienced ups and downs, but we have remained at each other’s side.
On May 17th, 2025 Brad and I were visiting my “happy place” the beach. Roger and Debbie’s wedding anniversary falls on this day and they had invited us to their anniversary celebration trip to Panama City Beach. On our first night Brad asked me if we could take couple pictures on the beach. So we dressed up and went down to the beach. Brad got down on one knee. “Will you marry me?” He grinned. I said “Yes!” Apparently he had “jumped the gun” on timing according to his uncle. They were our “official” photographers. So we stood there and chatted a bit while the sun went down. Then we staged a second proposal for video/picture purposes. What a wild ride it has been, and what a huge blessing. We cannot wait to see what the future holds. Jeremiah 29:11
