Long story short, we met in 2009, but I was dating someone else and hadn’t taken much notice in him. We became Facebook friends and chit chatted here and there. In April of 2017 we started going to concerts together. He made many attemps to take it out of the friendzone after that, but I was being stubborn. In October of 2018 we went to another concert, same band we saw the 1st time we hung out. But this time he had a friend show up to hang out w us. I could tell she liked him and that made me feel a certain way. Jealousy got the best of me and I realized I liked him more than just a friend. Still not wanting to date someone younger than me, I just left it alone and quit talking to him for a few months. Then January rolled around and we both ended up taking our trucks in to our truck guy to have work done. I guess that was fate’s way of giving us a push. After talking w my coworkers about the situation w him they suggested we go on an actual date and see what happens. We had that date on January 26, 2019 and have been together ever since. My person had been under my nose the entire time I was on the hunt for “the one”. I admire his patience and I am so grateful he waited for me to get my act together! We don’t have a super fantastic engagement story. But it’s ours. It’s kind of hard to make something a surprise when you just know from the get go that this is going to be the person you spend forever with. At the end of the day, I didn’t need or want a big to do engagement. It was a lot like discussing what to do for dinner. He presented me with a promise ring declaring his endless love and commitment to me and then that promise ring turned into an engagement. We didn’t really see the point in waiting. I took long enough as it is. He is an extremely patient man and it paid off. I can’t wait to build our life together! But first, lets get married! 🥰😍
