The First Day

April 14th 2017

It all started the day I saw a picture of this gorgeous man with beautiful green eyes. I had never done this befor but that day I made a mental note of his name. Heath Benton. I dont know why I made a mental note but i did. And it had to be for a reason. (now i know that was God)😉 A few days passed and I decided to message that gorgeous man that caught my eye. Of course I had to play it cool.. "Hey, I dont think I know you. How are you on my Facebook? lol" and that was it. From then on we didnt go a day not even more than an hour without talking. I knew he was the one befor I even met him. It sounds crazy I know, but I knew I loved that man befor I even met him. We talked for a few weeks and we finally decided to meet in person and go on our first date. I have never been so nervous in my life until that day! We decided to meet at Bama fever/ Tiger pride. Heath got there befor I did. Technically i was way earlier than he was but i was parked in the Walmart parking lot next door trying to build the courage to meet him. I was so nervous i literally almost left. But i had a gut feeling i would regret it if i didnt take the opportunity. I drove as slow as i could to Bama fever parking lot. I saw what i thought was his car. I pulled in 2 parking spaces away from him. Befor I could even put my car in park, I looked over through my window and we locked eyes. When we locked eyes it was a feeling I'll never be able to describe. It was the only time in my whole entire life that I have ever felt love at first sight. I knew in that moment he was the man for me. We went on our dinner date and spent as much time together as we possibly could. At the end of our date we stood outside of my car. He had this look on his face. I asked him "what are you thinking about?" and he replied "I'm thinking about kissing you" that man didnt have to say anything else. I got on my tip toes, reached up and I kissed that gorgeous man with the beautiful green eyes and my heart melted away. Sounds super corny right? But when you know , you know.

The Yes Day

December 4th 2018

On this chilly day we decided to take our girls to see Christmas lights in Gulfport. I remember it being so cold that night. We walked through the beautiful lights. But my favorite thing out of everything there was the giant lit up Christmas ornament. We walked right through it then we stopped at a little shop near by to get hot chocolate with marshmallows. There was "snow" everywhere. There were even little spots to roast marshmallows and make s'mores. It was the cutest little set up. Then Heath asked me to take a picture with him under the ornament. Heath handed bailey the camera and said " now just keep taking a bunch of pictures until we get a good one " We stood together under that Christmas ornament, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. That gorgeous man with the beautiful green eyes already knew my answer. And in that moment I knew I would be the happiest woman for the rest of my life.
