It’s finally happening!

We met in a little college bar in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 2016 at a concert. After entirely too much liquid courage, we were introduced to each other & I blurted out “Mason is cute,” right in front of his face. He claims he didn’t hear it, but I think he was just trying to save me from the embarrassment. Fast forward to the next year, we became close friends & talked all the time. Mason went on a family vacation to Colorado & we couldn’t talk much for about a week, though he would drive far out of the way just to get some service to let me know he was alive. He decided there that he actually kind of missed me & that must mean he liked me. (Insert facepalm emoji) I remember telling my grandma this was the person I was going to marry & I can bet Mason thought the same early on. He proposed during a photo session with my dear friend Hope & the moment could not have been more perfect if I planned it myself. (& trust me, I’m a planner so that says a lot!) Septemeber 19 marks a new chapter for us & we can’t wait to celebrate it with you all!

One night some friends and I took a trip to Stillwater to go hang out at the tumbleweed, little did I know that the love of my life was going to be there that night! I have to give a shout out to Bailey and Jaycee for introducing Kaylia and I that night! The next day I could not stop thinking about her, but the bad thing was I didn’t get her number and that was actually very disappointing. For some reason I thought of a great idea to go to her Instagram and like one of her pictures hoping she would do the same and what do you know, about 10 minutes later she actually liked one of mine back. From that day we have talked off and on for a while and that all took a step forward when my family and I was on vacation in Colorado and I just thought to myself that I cannot go without talking to her so I need to make a move. So it was then when I told her how I felt and after that I found myself driving to sonic every night in Colorado to get service so we could talk on the phone. One of my favorite memories was our first date, which had us both skipping class and going to the OKC zoo (sorry mom) which was freezing cold by the way. We started dating the day after Thanksgiving in 2017 and we never looked back. When I planned the proposal I asked one of her best friends to help me out by sneaking it into a photo shoot. September 19th cannot come fast enough and here is to a life long commitment!
