It was one night at the fair in Effingham County where we first locked eyes with each other... of course, she says I was too scared to come up to her, but we all know that's not true. We had already kind of known of each other through mutual friends, but have never interacted with each other. The timing just didn't feel right to me until hanging out with a mutual friend about 2 years later. I got her contact information, and here we are. Five years together; our own little family with 2 beautiful kiddos!
It all started on a fall night at the Effingham Fair. Among the glow of carnival lights and the buzz of the crowd, our eyes met, and for a moment, time seemed to stop. We smiled at each other, and though we’d known of each other through friends, that was the first time we truly connected. A few weeks later, he messaged me on Snapchat, and from that small spark, our story began. Five years, two beautiful children, and countless memories later, that simple glance has grown into a lifetime of love.
