We're Getting Hitched!

Jeremy and I both go to Florida State, go to the Wesley Foundation, and have a lot of similar friends, so we can't think of when we officially met. We have known each other since freshman year, but it wasn't until junior year of college at a party at his house that we started talking. We talked through the party about goals and trees and his photography. From there it was slow moving and we didn't really start dating until about 6 months later. You can ask either of us, and we will both say we don't know an exact date of we started dating, probably September 2016 is our best guess. Since then we have been through ups, downs, and long distance but neither of us would trade it for the world (maybe the long distance). We knew pretty early on that this wasn't just a fling. One thing led to another, Jeremy started grad school and I had two semesters left and we ended up living together, us and Murphy the pup, this year. Living together has been fantastic, natural and relaxing. We take Murphy to the park a lot, eat a lot of tacos, drink a lot of coffee, and watch a lot of movies. Between movies and tacos, we started talking about what forever may look like. Jeremy proposing started as conversations and dreaming, and we knew it was something we both wanted and looked forward to. So I guess you could say it wasn't exactly a surprise that it was happening, but rather when and how was the surprise. On October 13th, 2017 I got off work and Jeremy convinced me to put on a dress to go to the park to play with Murphy (he told me we would meet his parents for dinner afterwards). We went to Governor's Park around sunset and threw the ball for Murphy, it was the best weather. We slowly made our way to the center of the park, and Jeremy turned me around, hugged me, pulled the ring out, and got on a knee. It was simple, beautiful, and everything I dreamed of. So now we're here, and we can't wait to celebrate our start of forever with you all!
