We're Eloping!

On January 24, 2011, James asked me to be his girlfriend (the first time, HA). How could a taken man move on to high school while dating a girl that was still in junior high? He couldn't! But, like they say, what's meant to be will always find it's way back to you. On May 15, 2015, we took a road trip to Indianapolis to pick up a friend and we've been together ever since. Thanks Bud Light, you really should be getting the credit for us being together. In May of 2016, we got our first apartment together. Since then, we've both finished school, moved across the country together and (my personal favorite milestone) added Boom Knox to our crew.

James and I went to my mom's house for a little weekend getaway. He brought the ring with him to show my mom what it looked like and tell her his plan, with no intention of proposing for another month or so. That quickly changed to a morning proposal on the beach in Outer Banks that Sunday, just two days later! He knew he wanted it on video and wouldn't be able to pull it off quite as well if it was just the two of us. Either way it would have been perfect because it would've meant I got to marry him (ew, I know, oops).
