How we met!

From all night phone calls, to sharing a home!

Catherine and Landon met in elementary school. They played softball together and became close friends. Their friendship continued until Landon moved away in his 10th grade year of high school. Landon decided to go watch a softball game that Catherine just so happened to be playing in. After the game Landon got Catherine's phone number and the two of them started texting non-stop. As time kept going on they realized they had both caught feelings for each other. Landon had got up the courage to finally ask Catherine to be his girlfriend. Thankfully she said yes! Landon would go to as many of Catherine's volleyball games as possible. They would also go to every school dance together. The two of them spent every night on the phone together even though everyone thought it was weird. One of the very first things Catherine ever made for Landon was grilled cheese. Ever since the one thing he would always ask her for was grilled cheese and she would make them for him even when he would get home from work at 12:30 at night. Catherine was always there for Landon and Landon was always there for Catherine. Through the darkest times in their lives they were there for each other. Then after Catherine graduated from high school she moved away and went to college. This time was going to be the true deciding factor in their relationship. The two of them thought if we have gotten through everything we have to this point we can get through anything. The next 4 years were going to be the longest 4 years but they stood by each other side through every step of the way. From the countless trips to Allentown at 12 in the morning to all the sleepless nights staying on the phone making sure each other was okay. Many tears, laughs, and smiles where shared over the course of the 4 years. But nothing can compare to the happiness they felt when they purchased their own home right before Catherine was finished with college. The summer before Catherine's senior year in college they purchased their very own home. The love they have shared over their relationship could not be matched. After purchasing their own home they have gotten their little babies. First came Hawk the 170 lbs Mastiff who thinks he is a lap dog. (Fun fact he's not). Hawk was everything they didn't know they needed. Then came Stormy. Stormy is a loveable kitty cat who loves to get into everything and anything. They also had a beautiful orange cat named peaches who had unfortunately passed away not long after they brought her to their home. Finally came along Mushu a cute adorable kitty cat who is very cuddly and loves attention and enjoys playing with his brother Stormy. Nothing in their relationship has come easily but every step of the way has been worth it. Catherine and Landon cant wait to tie the knot and spend the rest of their lives together.

The Proposal

10-31-2020

It was the weekend of Catherine's 21st birthday and everyone had gone down to her Grammys "Down state home". With the help of Catherine's loved one Landon was able to pull it off without any hiccups. Weeks before Landon had made these cute little papers that Catherine would read out which had led up to him asking her to marry him. As Catherine had finished reading out the papers she turned around and there was Landon down on one knee asking her to marry him. Of course she had said YES! That day has been one of the best days they have spent together thus far. Catherine's favorite thing was how shiny the ring was when you would shine a light on it. Since that day they have been waiting to finally be able to say their I Dos for when Catherine had finished college. They both knew it would take some time and they have stuck by each other stronger than ever.

For all the days along the way
