Happily Ever After!!

When we met I (Leah) had a room mate get a washer and dryer set delivered to my house from a furniture store. Jerrad was the one who had delievered it and hooked everything up. While he was here he kept talking and making conversation and eye contact but i thought nothing of it, it was part of his job to be friendly to customers. Anyways, a short while later I was at work (Navistar) and Jerrad, who also works at Navistar popped up to stock parts on the line i worked on. We realized who each other were and started a friendship pretty much. We only talked when he stocked my line though. One day a girl we work with asked me if I was single and i had asked her why an she said “well Jerrad thinks you’re cute and wanted me to ask.” Once i found out, i looked him up on facebook on January 25, 2018 and confronted him about this question. He eventually admitted to it and took me out to dinner one night and he instantly hit it off! Here we are now, engaged to be married to one another a year later!!

We were on our 2 week vacation from work for Independance Day from June 28, 2018 to July 17, 2018. We travelled to Gatlinburg, TN on July 6, 2018 to stay for 3 nights and 4 days. Our check in time was 4:00pm but we ended up getting there 3 hours early do we decided to just walk around and enjoy ourselves while they got our room ready. After a fun day of events we called it a night and went back to the hotel to have dinner and watch a movie. The next day we made plans to go up onto the Space Needle 407ft in the air just to experience the sight of the mountains and the scenery around us. Our ticket gave us another chance to go up within 24 hours, so we went ahead and left an went to Pigeon Forge to have some fun and go sight seeing etc. When we got back to Gatlinburg, Jerrad had insisted we go ahead an go back up to the Space Needle to see what it looked like at night time, and let me tell you! It is absolutely beautiful!! I was walking around the deck looking at everything from different views and he grabbed me an turned me around, told me how much he loved me an told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He got down on one knee and proposed to me on July 7, 2018!!
