Darin and I first met at SEMO in a Geology class. It was around 8 o'clock in the morning and I had worked late the night before and had to commute an hour from Ste. Genevieve, MO to get to class. Needless to say, I was running late and took the first seat that I saw was available. Ironically, the cute man sitting in the seat next to me would become my future husband. At the end of class, we introduced ourselves to each other and he asked me which lab I had for that class. We had the same one. As the semester progressed further we talked more and more. Later in the semester, I believe it was midterm, he asked me if I wanted to study with him and join him in the library. So on Oct 11th, 2015, I met up with Darin for the first time. After studying, he took me to a restaurant called the Bar and talked. I was kind of broke so I only ordered fries and he offered to buy it for me. Afterwards, he took me back to my car on campus and asked me if I wanted to hang out again. I said yes and shortly after we had our first date. It was the best date I had ever been on and we had chemistry I have never had with another man. We continued to meet up and not to long after on Oct 19th, 2015 Darin and I officially became a couple. After nearly a year later I moved in with him and we continued to make memories. He became a cat dad to both my cats and later we adopted a dog. Finally, the week of Valentines Day in February 2020, Darin asked me if I wanted to go ring shopping. We picked out my engagement ring together and the day after his birthday, March 21st, 2020 Darin officially proposed to me. Now we are getting married and want you to join in our celebration! Yay!
