In 2016, we went on a double date in high school with our good friends - Mexican food and a movie in Enid. Cole kissed me after the date, but we didn't talk after. My freshman year of college we reconnected, started dating, and then decided to take a little break. We started dating again on March 3, 2019.

I woke up on Christmas morning at 9:30, just in time to watch church online (Covid things). I vividly remember getting frustrated at my family for being on their phones during church....little did I know, they were texting about me! After church, my dad said "We are going to do things a little different this year. I want you guys to get dressed up so we can take a family picture." My family has always opened presents in our pj's.....and honestly, I didn't like the idea of getting dressed up. So, I put on a decent shirt, some leggings, and brushed my teeth and hair. No makeup or hair done, because I truthfully had no idea. My dad wanted me to open presents first, so I proceeded. I opened Cole's presents last and he said "Wait, I have one more that is in my truck." I was thinking "Sweet! He got me cornhole boards." We got to his truck and he handed me a letter and the top of it read "Halie Rae DeWitt." That is when the tears started rolling! He walked me out to a pasture area behind my house.....he said some very sweet words and asked me to marry him! <3 And of course, I said yes!
