We first met five years ago when both of us were working overnight at Walmart. I was a cashier and he was a stocker. I didn't even know he worked there until one night he came up to the front for his break and by then I was on break as well. One of our coworkers told me he wanted to talk to me, so i went and sat by him. We started talking and next thing I know I was asking for his number so we can get to know each other outside of work (Yes, I'm a control freak like that lol). Couple of days after, we hung out and went to get some food. He even met my parents!! Yes I know it was very early, BUT I was still living with them, so he kinda didn't have a choice! Lol. We continued to grow closer to each other very fast, creating a bond that has led us where we are today. A month after we met, we considered ourselves "official". In that moment, I knew we were going to be together forever. I had no doubt in my mind that he was a keeper!

On September 6, 2017, we both went to work and came home. It was what we would consider a normal day in our household. I was cooking dinner and texting my girls. So needless to say, my mind was heavily occupied making sure I didn't burn the food due to the laughter resulting from my text messages. Once dinner was finished, we sat down on the couch to eat, watch TV, and discuss some wedding stuff. I went into the room to use the bathroom and grab something. At the same time, I heard Jeremy leave to go outside. (When I look back, he was acting a little weird that day, but I guess I didn't really pay it any attention). Anyways, so when I opened the door from the room, there were teddy bears set up on the couch (FYI, I LOVE teddy bears), and Jeremy was on one knee. In that moment, I froze in a state of shock as he proceed to tell me how much he loved me and asked me the BIG QUESTION: Will you marry me??? With my whole body shaking and tears rolling down my face, I said YES! I was filled with joy and excitement because this moment has been a long time coming. I can't wait to be Mrs. Drayton!!
