Our Love story!

It was a family cook-out like any other. Old family friends were invited that we haven't seen in a long time. everything is as usual with the gathering when finally Cody shows up late due to the fact he was working at Taco Casa. that was the first time we remember meeting each other.

It was almost a year after high school and i was living in Watuaga, TX. and he was living in Azle, TX. It was Easter Sunday in 2013 and i was not sure i was going to go home for Easter and Cody was unsure of his plans for Easter until his mom (Tammie) told him of a cook-out that would have free Mexican food (Hahaha). I'm not kidding! I decided on going to spend Easter with my family instead of my room mates and it just felt like it was any other day. i showed up and i was happy to see everyone and just settled in on the front steps due to lack of seating when i see Tammie walking up with Kaylon and Cody. my mom had invited them out and of course i was happy to see him right off the bat but i had to give him a hard time for not giving me a hug when he was going around saying hello to everyone. he offered me a hug after i was like "Well hello Cody! where is my hug?!" he smiled and said "Oh, Sorry. i'll give you a hug" and well if you don't know me i only like genuine hugs (haha) so i smiled and said "maybe later". not gonna lie i was flirting. we talked and chased after each other with confetti eggs and i was so not happy to see them leave early. Little did I know that was the day that sparked our life together as we know it now. P.S. I finally contacted him on Facebook after 2 days of waiting and seeing if i could get him off of my mind.

After being together for 4 years and working hard to get our own place I had been led to believe that i was going to a house warming party for me and Cody that was being thrown by my mother. i was in the middle of going through the gifts and making jokes when my sister who is video taping the whole thing asked if i had any more gifts and i said "No. No I don't." she said "yes, I think you have one more behind you. Its behind you." as I turn around I see Cody kneeling on one knee and opening the ring box. My head falls back and I laugh and feel this feeling come over me of just pure nerves and as he asks "will you marry me". I couldn't stop smiling and "Yes" is the only thing that came to mind. Finally!!!
