The way it all started… Eric and I met through some friends around the time of my twentieth birthday. We spent a few weeks talking and getting to know each other. We would talk on the phone for hours into the night and early in the morning. After a brief separation for a few weeks we came back together and the attraction took off full force! Around April 17th , 2016, Eric let the term “girlfriend” which he was so afraid of, slip out while he was talking with a friend one day and realized it was everything he wanted and so did I. Ever since that day the bond grew stronger and our love began to form. We have had our share of fights and problems, but our love has been stronger. We got a house of our own with Matthew on a farm, where he is more than intrigued by all the farm equipment. Right around my 21st birthday in March of 2017, Eric sent me on a scavenger hunt around our house for a surprise. I was completely oblivious to the game he was trying to play an after a few minutes of searching I finally found it. The back of a picture frame I had given him for Christmas with our picture in it had a paragraph on the back of how much he loved me, and to top it off the bottom had “will you marry me?” and of course I said YES!! Since that day we have been overwhelmed with happiness and a little stress with the planning and me starting my new career and adjusting our schedules. Although it has been crazy we couldn’t be happier and more excited for our family to join us on our special day!
