During freshman year of high school Blanton and I had science class together. He decided to come sit next to me one day and the rest is history! I pretended I needed help and would ask him silly questions about homework assignments, even though I always knew the answer. After texting back and forth for a while we decided to give this relationship thing a try. From cheering at football games while he was kicking, splitting our lunches every day sophomore year, and a whole lot of Dairy Queen dates in between, high school flew by and before we knew it we were headed off to separate colleges. The next four years of driving back and forth between Louisville and Lexington every weekend were tough, but most definitely worth it! Football games continued but now I was in the stands cheering him on as his number one fan. College seemed to go by even quicker than high school, and before I knew it we were out fishing on a beautiful day in June when I turned around and saw Blanton on one knee. I knew that all the traveling, patience, and support over the past 8 years of our relationship was 100% worth it when he asked me to marry him. It was the happiest day of our lives and we are so excited to finally start a life together under the same roof! I have no doubt that we will live our life together to its fullest, and hopefully always be as in love as we are now!
