We met at Tractor Supply Company in 2016. Cade and I worked together one day right after he started and it was an instant friendship. We started talking about hobbies and where we went to school. He mentioned that he loved fishing, so I offered to fish at my mom's pond. The rest is history!
It was just supposed to be a girl's day with Bonnie. A leisurely drive up to Highlands, NC, to do some shopping and see the sites. She had mentioned wanting to show me this gorgeous spot that supposedly offered spectacular views of the sunset. We arrived, hiked a little way up the boulder-lined trail, and then found ourselves at an overlook that, literally, offered views that stretched all the way back to Georgia. Indescribable. I instantly said to Bonnie, "Cade is going to be so jealous when I show him the pictures." At that moment, I turned to see him walking toward me. He asked me to marry him. I said yes!
