We rekindled a friendship that started in the fourth grade after we both had the same algebra class at Smyrna High School our freshmen year. Jacob asked me to be his girlfriend on March 28, 2012. We always knew we would be together and were willing to put in the work every day.

Jacob took me to a cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains on our 7th anniversary. Jacob surprised me with my father, mother, and little sister when he got down on one knee and asked, "what do you say?" Crying I said, "YES!" I will always remember the look on his face!
