It all started when the couple met through Danielle’s older sister and one of CJ’s mutual friends. It was March, Spring Break 2013, the couple met in the small town of Throckmorton, TX, 30 minutes from Danielle’s hometown Olney, TX. She was 14 years old and he was 16 years old. The couple had a very strong bond, attached at the hip most of the time since that day. Fast forward to 2015 (Yes way too young) the couple welcomed a baby girl they named Mackenna Kynleigh Rankin. She instantly became the apple of her daddy’s eye. Looking just like her daddy but got her mama’s attitude (as CJ would say). It was just the little family of three. They struggled with being young parents and juggling life all at the same time. In 2018 they welcomed a baby boy, they named him Watson Benjamin Rankin. You can just say his little hands stole his mama’s heart and his little feet ran with it. Fast forward to June 2021, CJ and Danielle bought their first home located in Olney TX. In October of 2021, CJ and Danielle legally married at the court house in Wichita Falls TX. They will be celebrating their marriage on November 12th 2022. We always told each other “Damn, we really did things backwards” Usually a couple meet, fall in love, get married, buy a house & then have kids. “Our journey isn’t perfect. But it’s Ours… I’ll stick with you till’ the end.”
