How We Met

Summer of '05

Ray and I met in the Summer of '05. Ironically, before we met, Ray and one of my older brothers were friends meaning I was off limits lol. Needless to say, we didn't date but somehow could never loose contact. Even after different life situations, God saw fit to bring us together. After months of developing a GREAT friendship.. April 5, 2015.. We made it OFFICIAL! Best decision we have made thus far!!

The Proposal

March 12, 2016

March 12, 2016.. MY BIRTHDAY!! I will never forget that day or the days leading up to the Proposal. Lets just say.. I am NOT easy to fool or keep a secret from (nosey) lol. I will give it to him tho, with the help of my mommy.. He did just THAT! We decided to take a Vacation to Utah for my birthday. I was pregnant at the time so we couldn't do much. We stayed in a BEAUTIFUL Hotel overlooking the Utah Jazz stadium. The morning of my birthday, while getting dressed to head to breakfast, he got on one knee and popped the question. An emotional wreck.. Of course, I SAID YES!!!

For all the days along the way
