Brian and I met on January 14, 2018! We went to a late dinner at Jim & Nicks that evening and talked so much that night that we didn’t even realize that the restaurant had closed 3 hours later. We went on several dates including getting lost for 4 hours in Moss Rock Preserve and didn’t kill each other and thought that maybe we were just destined for each other! 😃 Well, that did happen but there were several things that made us both realize in a fairly short amount of time that we wanted to go through life together. After a few months of dating, we introduced each other to the kids individually then introduced the kids to each other in the next few weeks to follow. Brian and I started talking about engagement in May and we looked at a few rings then on July 1st, Brian planned out the absolute sweetest and most romantic proposal! He researched places in Birmingham that overlooked the city that had the best view of sunset. He verified what he had read online by visiting the location prior to taking me there. On July 1st, Brian drove us to Vestavia Hills Baptist Church and got on one knee right at sunset to ask for my hand in marriage.
