On July 12, 2017, Colton and I met in the typical modern way-the internet. We had our first date in a coffee shop in Claremore, Oklahoma...coffee turned to dinner which turned to sitting on a park bench talking for three hours. Our mutual love of horses, shared faith in Christ, and other common interests built the connection and we fell in love.

On November 3, 2018, Colton and I drove to Kansas City, Missouri for an afternoon/evening out. While waiting for a table to open up for dinner, Colton suggested we take a walk in the park down the street. We sat down on a park bench, reminiscent of our first date, and he popped the question. After 15 months of adventures and falling further in love with this man than I thought I possibly could...of course, I said yes.
