We’re getting Married!

So here’s the thing we both knew of each other in college at North Greenville University. However, we just weren’t looking for anything at the time. Fast forward a year and a half later and a Facebook message (yes, that kind of technological begining). We took things slow, like really slow which we both agreed upon. Funny thing is on our first date we ended up spending nine hours plus together and it felt like 30 minutes. Chase said he knew at the end of the night of our first date he would marry me, I of course took a little longer but it only took within three weeks I knew The Lord placed us together and I didn’t want to admit it but love was a definite possiblity. Over the next eleven months we took time learning how each other functions, likes/ dislikes and how he likes toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (but only with the crust cut off), and how I don’t love cereal (okay, I know also weird). Within a few days shy of dating for a full year we went on a family vacation at goold ole’ Ocean Lakes with my family. I knew something was odd when he didn’t really talk a lot (yes, he’s the talker out of the two of us) the whole day on the beach. We planned to go to the Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet, Sc. Once at the pier I knew something was a little fishy (pun intended). Chase expresses his feelings more out of the two of us but that night it was overly expressive of how I was his best friend and he loved me with all of his heart. I obviously love him tremendously but inside I was an anxious wreck just waiting for him to kneel down. When he finally knelt down (yay!) I was so excited I forgot to tell him yes (whoops), obviously it was a gigantic YES! So far since being engaged we have added a new furry friend in the mix. We rescued an Australian Shepherd mix puppy to our little family, his name is Ace and we love him immensily! We cannot wait to see what all The Lord has planned for this new chapter of out story!
