We met online and started talking in September of 2018, our first date was at McDonald's (if anyone knows Lauren, you know that was a crazy place for her to have a "date". I was shocked and excited she showed up) In Starke though there aren't many places to go while Daniel was on break from work. Fate took over and literally the power goes out in Starke, so we could sit and talk for almost two hours! (Are you still following along? 2 hours at McDonald's, crazy, right??) A few weeks later we went to the horse rescue farm and walked around and fed the horse's carrots. This one horse followed us for twenty minutes trying to eat all the carrots! (that pig) Over time then Daniel got to meet Caden and fell in love with that crazy boy. Daniel knew first that he couldn't live without both of them. Lauren was a little harder to convince. Ha ha. Our favorite memory we shared was when Daniel tricked Lauren into saying "I love you" after ending a date. He said his goodbyes and sneakily said "Good night, I love you" without even hesitating Lauren said " Okay, love you too" Puzzled, Lauren went with it, thinking the whole 40 minute ride home how he got her to say that.(Daniel's most favorite moment is when he talked Lauren into going on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal......Priceless.) Lauren knew Daniel fit into her family after playing Cards Against Humanity. Daniel knew Lauren fit into his family when she went to Thanksgiving dinner with them. The rest is history! :)
