We first met through mutual friends when we were just Sophomores in high school. I went to Pampa and Sheldon went to Shamrock which was about 45 minutes away. Sheldon came to Pampa with some of his friends to meet up with my group of friends and hangout. We remained friends and kept contact off and on throughout the rest of high school and also the first part of college. Fast forward to 2015, I was finishing up my Junior year of college at Texas State and Sheldon was going to fire school in the DFW area. Randomly Sheldon sends me a message asking how I was doing and we caught up through text. A few weeks later I ended up going to Fort Worth for the weekend to see him and watch his cousin play football. Sheldon and I started officially dating about two months later. He then moved down to San Marcos. The rest was history!

Sheldon's parents came down to San Marcos for the weekend. My Mom had suggested that we go out for a nice dinner to celebrate a late Mother's Day. She also suggested that I wear something nice because the scenery would make for really pretty pictures. Sheldon's Mom took me to get my nails done for a fun girls afternoon. Later that night We drove to a nearby town to have dinner with Sheldon's parents. The plan was to meet my Mom there. We pulled up to a beautiful restaurant called, Seguin Powerplant. As we walked up to the building my Mom and Cousins came out to greet us. Sheldon asked me if I wanted to take a picture by the water and of course I said yes. I turned back around to get ready for the picture and next thing I knew Sheldon was down on his knee with a ring box in hand. I started crying before he could even ask. Afterwards we enjoyed dinner with our family.
