We're getting married!

From the moment we met, everything just clicked. We connected over our goofy personalities and found a sense of comfort and ease in each other’s company. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we could just be ourselves around one another, and that felt like the beginning of something truly special. For Dylan, it was love at first sight. For me, it took a little longer, but it became undeniable over time. After a couple of years, life took me to Texas for two years, and during that time, I realized just how much Dylan meant to me. I knew he was the one, and it became clear that I needed to come back home to be with him. The distance made my heart grow fonder, and I couldn’t imagine my future without him by my side. As I navigated through nursing school, Dylan drove over an hour to see me multiple times a week. The distance was hard, but the effort we both put into our relationship made it clear that we were meant to be. What I love most about Dylan is how he always makes me feel special and wanted. He has this incredible way of making me laugh, and we’ve even developed our own little language—a secret way of communicating that feels like it’s just ours. Beyond that, Dylan’s heart is one of the biggest things I admire about him. He’ll do anything for the people he loves, always showing up and taking care of them, and I’m lucky to be one of those people. After moving into our new house, we decided to get some pictures taken for the walls. Dylan planned a surprise trip up to Greer, AZ, a place that holds a special place in my heart and my family’s. He had secretly arranged with the photographer to hide the ring and wait for the perfect moment to pop the question. The whole day was magical, but when I turned around and saw him down on one knee, surrounded by the beauty of a place I love, I knew we were starting the next chapter of our life together.
