We met at Campus Prep in Vicksburg, Mississippi! We were both in the second grade and went to school together for two years before Dustin moved to Kentucky, and then to Indiana. Before he moved, he would ask me to be his “girlfriend” but I’d always turn him away, lol. I’d go home though, and write in my notebooks, “I <3 DJ.” Some of my most fond memories were from that school, and the most vivid were of Dustin and I chasing each other on the playground and pretending zombies were chasing us. I never thought I’d see him again, but 12 years later we reconnected on Facebook and Dustin drove 7 hours from Indiana to Oxford, Mississippi to visit me. That day, Dustin asked me once again to be his girlfriend. Although we were going to have to do a long distance relationship with him being in the Navy and me being in Oxford, I said “YES!” It was obvious we both knew right away that we were meant to be together. I said “YES” once more when he asked if I would marry him at his family’s home on April 3, 2021. I am over the moon to become his wife, and marry into such a loving family. November 6, 2021 cannot come fast enough!
