We're getting married!

The summer of 2015 I moved up to Merrillville to start summer practices for volleyball. As practices began I started hanging out with people from the other sports team. I wasn't really looking for a relationship, I was more so just looking to meet some new friends. However, my roommate and I went to this party and this guy (nope, not Darrius) started talking to me. We talked for a while and seemed to be hitting it off. I don't recall exactly all the little details, but the one thing I remember for sure is this guy (yup, this is Darrius) leaned over to me and said, "Hey, you know he has a girlfriend right?" And at that very moment, the tables turned and I couldn't stop looking at him. Now, like I said, I wasn't interested in a relationship (or so I thought) so I played it off kind of low key. We started hanging out more and more with Darrius. His friends and my friends just clicked really well. I think the moment I knew I really liked him is when he would text my friends and not me, I was for sure jealous. So, the next time I saw him I gave him my number, and we started texting. From that day forward, we started hanging out more and more. He took me on a couple dates, and we just really hit it off. Not to mention he was like Mr. IUN. He knew everybody and everybody knew him. To me, that just made him that much more attractive. On September 27, 2015 he asked me to be his girlfriend (about time) and of course I said yes! For the next three years, we dated and really got to know one another. Then, on July 28, 2018 he asked me to marry him! Still to this day I cannot thank God enough for crossing our paths at IUN. If I wouldn't have chosen IUN to further my volleyball career and education I would have never met him. Likewise, if he wouldn't have chosen IUN to further his basketball career and education we wouldn't be were we are today. Moreover, our love story began at IUN, but it doesn't end at IUN because our love story will continue for a lifetime!
