We met each other in 2021 at a gas station in Johnstown, Co. When Austin had started working there I had already been there for a few months. Our first interaction I thought he was a customer so I used my best customer service voice only to feel way embarrassed when he said he was supposed to start his new job that day. It wasn’t very long before we were sneaking glances and sharing candy. (Austin would never admit he followed me around that first week) I learned he had a daughter, Delilah. And he asked if we could have a play date. For those who don’t know my daughter Kinsley is disabled so I was stand-offish at first due to the fact that not many know how to interact with her. But when we did bring them together it felt right. We opened each other’s daughters in with welcome arms and I think it’s fair to say that it healed something we didn’t realize was broken. We were down on our luck alone as single parents. Figuring everything out on our own. So naturally we found comfort and understanding with each other. We both wanted the same things and futures. We became close very fast and so did our daughters. 2 years later we became our own little blended family. We even added another daughter to our family. Little baby Serena. Here we are starting another journey together❤️
Austin’s P.O.V- I never thought I’d meet the love of my life by working at a gas station. There she was standing at the counter, the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen in my life. Hailey’s P.O.V- I was working my usual shift bored out of my mind. When a very attractive man asked who he needed to talk to start his first shift. I’m pretty sure we were catching glances the rest of the night.
Austin’s- I knew she was the one when we had those late night drives in my truck and we sang together. I knew she was the one when she loved my daughter as her own. I knew she was the one when I opened up to her about how I felt and she didn’t judge me or take my vulnerability for granted. Hailey’s- We’ve always had moments in our relationship when we just stand there and say beautiful things to each other while we hug and cry. Every time it’s makes me fill with love. It makes me wanna love him forever.
