We're getting married (finally)

We met at D.C.'s convenience store in Centralia, MO. He was working as an overnight cashier, and a cook. I started working there as a dayshift cashier. I was just getting over a bad breakup when we first met, so I didn't really talk to him at first. But by the next month we started to get to know each other, and we took things slow. He asked me to be his girlfriend on November 1st, 2017. He treated (still does) me and my oldest 2 kids so good. Fast-forward to 2020, and we have our first child together, Corynthia. She was his first and my third. He loved my oldest two like his own, but seeing him hold his first kid after she was born, made me fall more in love with him. Fast-forward to 2022, and we have our 2nd and final child together, Anastasia. He treats me and the kids so good, we are lucky to have him. <3

He proposed to me on our 7th anniversary. We were able to find a baby-sitter for all 4 kids! (Haha!) We went to a spot in downtown Columbia MO, famous for their burgers. It was so good to get out by ourselves, since we don't get to do that often. It was such a good dinner, and just about when we were finished, in the middle of our conversation pulls out the ring and asks me to marry him. I was so happy, I couldn't talk at first and just nodded yes and cried happy tears. Anyways, thanks for reading our stories and can't wait to see you at the wedding! :)
