In Spring of 2014 we "met" through our now happily married best friends, Trent and Emily. Will asked if I wanted to go with him and his friend to a local Niceville bar, Tisa's, to play pool. I was pretty nervous going with a person I just met but there was something about Will that made me feel safe. After a few rounds of pool, we decided it was time to leave and for him to take me home. On the way back I started quietly singing to myself to a song playing on the radio, and when he heard me he turned up the radio; surprisingly not to drown out the awful sound coming from his passenger seat, but to sing along with me. In that moment I knew I really liked this guy. I couldn't stop smiling. Finding someone like that, it didn't take long for our romance to grow quickly from puppy love to something most people dream of sharing with another person. Everything I wanted in life: love, laughter, support, happiness etc. had all been found right there in this amazing, handsome, and goofy man. Not only did I find this incredible man but he came with another wonderful gift, an amazing family who welcomed me with open arms and who have also provided me with love and support over the years. What more could a girl ask for?

Despite sharing different interests and hobbies, we have always meshed so well together being independent people. Always supporting each others hobbies even if one of us wasn't included. As long as one was happy, so is the other. Along with being happy for each other, the support and encouragement we give each other in all things in life is what really takes the cake. In November 2017 I had to have open-heart surgery and of course, I was terrified. He kept reassuring me saying "We have our whole life together, this isn't the end" and of course "You're too mean to die". Even though he paid to stay in a hotel, Will spent each day and night by my side caring for me in the hospital. He held my hand through all the pain and anxiety of such an invasive operation and recovery. That's when I was sure he was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. Sure enough, on my birthday May 15th 2018 he asked me to be his wife. It was the best birthday gift a girl could ask for. There is no greater person to spend forever with. Every girl dreams of their happily ever after and I am lucky enough to have found mine♥
