We met at The Lodge Eatery & Pub in Catoosa, Oklahoma one late Friday night on April 6th, 2018. I walked into The Lodge to greet my usual pub group, and ran into Jeremiah's roommate with an open pool table. We challenged each other to a game playing pool. I noticed Jeremiah was sitting next to the pool table watching me and his roommate. Then at that moment our eyes met. Glowing with curiosity, interest, and we soon started dating.
As life gets busy, we missed celebrating our first year anniversary on April 6th, 2019. Jeremiah brought up an idea to take me out on a late anniversary dinner the following weekend on April 13th, 2019. I did not think much of it but looked forward to celebrating our relationship. Jeremiah took me to Molly’s Landing in Catoosa, Oklahoma. It was a beautiful old quaint place. We sat next to each other in a small room by the patio in the back. We ordered fillet mignon and quail. Shared memories, giggles, and kisses. When we finished up eating, he looked at me and told me how amazing I am. How much he loves me. He would love to spend as many more anniversaries with me and start a family. Then without realizing what he was planning to do, I asked him if we could start making a family now! He pushed his chair backwards and got on his one knee and proposed, “Will you marry me? You are my everything”. I was so surprised and shocked, I did not see that coming, of course I said, “YES!” Then we celebrated our engagement at The Lodge after our romantic dinner.
We welcomed our daughter, Ireland Rae, into the world on June 28th, 2021 at 10:35am weighting in at 6lbs 14oz and 18.5" long. Her due date was July 3rd, 2021 however she decided to make an early grand entrance. The labor was rather quick, only 5 hours long. Together we became a family of three.
