We met in fall of 2016 in Starkville, MS. Phil was working towards his degree in Forestry at Mississippi State and I was working on my pre-requisites for nursing school. I was not looking for a relationship at the time, but after I hung out with Phil a few times, I was like, "He's a pretty nice guy maybe I should keep him around." So, we kept talking and hanging out and eventually we became inseparable. I decided to get a dog and Phil quickly took the role of Sadie's "doggy daddy." College was a fun and care free time, but then I got into nursing school. I had to get serious about school, and we were living two hours away from each other, but we stuck through it and I got my degree and it was all totally worth it. Philip proposed to me under a Christmas tree at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis on December 23, 2018. Without any hesitation, I said, "YES!" After Phil graduated he got a job working around Starkville, so we decided that would be our home. We now have two beautiful doggies, Sadie and Ryder, and a sweet and fat kitty cat named Rufus. We have been through so much together and I'm so thankful that the man I get to spend my life with is as sweet and caring as Philip. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us and I can't wait to be Mrs. Philip Evans! So now on April, 25, 2020 we will stand in front of all of our loved ones overlooking the smokey mountains and promise to love each other forever!
