We met in seventh grade on a school trip to the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. I had just moved to town and was just starting to meet new people. Reece made me feel comfortable right away. He was fun, kind, and had me laughing the entire weekend. At the young ages of twelve and thirteen, we just had fun together. Through middle school, high school, and college, we grew up together. We have always been each other's biggest fans. No matter how much life changed, it always felt like us — steady, familiar, and meant to be. On October 3, 2025, Reece proposed at the end of Pride Road, the place he grew up and the road that carries his name. It was something I had dreamt of for many years, and more meaningful than I could've imagined. I’m so thankful the Lord brought our lives together the way He did. Loving you is my greatest blessing.
