It's hard to write "our story" and know where to start. We've known each other since we can remember, growing up on the old ballfields in Andrews. After Dane moved to New Zion, we'd see each other in passing, but connected more while I was in college. Dane claims he tried to date me for years, but let me set the record straight... he never said "can I take you on a date?" Everyone told us repeatedly we'd be great together, but I admittedly never listened. Through many fun times, side by side rides, and hunting trips, I would eventually call him my best friend. In the fall of 2020, we clicked. Since then, we've been through many trials, seasons, laughs, and tears. Dane says he knew he wanted to marry me early 2022, but just know he asked for ring styles the summer of 2021. Somewhere in there I knew I wanted to marry him, and I'm forever blessed I'll call him my husband. For years I never saw us together, and now I can't imagine a life without him. He's truly my best friend, and I thank God when I look at him. We've grown a lot together, and I can't wait to see what God has planned for us.
