Hunter's senior year of highschool and my junior year, we had a career day at Ponchatoula High. I picked random speakers to listen to because I had planned on skipping that day of school just like all my friends were doing. When the career day came around my parents forced me to go to school. Hunter and I did not know each other yet, but somehow we had all of the same speakers and rotated through all of the same classes throughout the entire day. We sat close to each other in all the different classes, but he did not say one word to me the entire day. After school I messaged him (Yes I made the first move). About two days later school was shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic. Me and Hunter talked all day everyday until May when we were able to actually hang out in person.
We were on a beach vacation with a few of our closest friends and Carter. We all got dressed up to go to dinner one night. The girls all got ready together, and we walked out to meet the boys and baby Carter. I saw Hunter standing on a balcony holding Carter. I walked towards him over all the rose petals that covered the ground and heard Taylor Swift's "Love Story" playing in the background. I made my way to Hunter and saw Carter's shirt said "Giving Mom Our Last Name". After that he kneeled to the ground and pulled out a ring... And now we're here at the next biggest milestone in our lives! We can't wait to take this next step into our relationship and celebrate our love for one another with the people we love most!
