Joey and I met through friends in 2013 but were just friends at the time. A couple years later, most of our circle was engaged, married, or dating except for a few of us and we took advantage of the single life! In the summer of 2015, we began to get closer but still only as friends. We had the time of our lives that summer! Going boating, for drinks, or just dancing around each others living rooms. As summer drew to a close, Joey asked me out to dinner on a random Thursday. Me being oblivious, thought he was still asking as my friend but I finally caught the hint it was something more. After some bumps in the road and a rocky start, we went to our friendswedding in April of 2016. And we’ve been together ever since. Thanks for sharing your Anniversary with us Lauren and Trav!! In August of 2017, we found out we were expecting our first daughter, Samson Elizabeth. She was born sleeping on January 4th, 2018 and so began one of the hardest times in our lives and relationship. Greif is difficult and everyone handles it differently but we always found a way to lean on one another. In January 2019, we found out we were expecting again. On St.Patricks Day, me and Joey were sitting in our kitchen and I told him I could go for some icecream. Probably a pregnancy craving...he went to Sonic and came back and as we were watching the wedding singer on tv, he pulled the ring out of his pocket and got down on one knee. I don’t know what was said but I fell into his arms and of course said yes. That next week, my MOH’s, Megan and Jessica, threw us a gender reveal party and we found out we were having a girl once again. We welcomed Lucy James on September 9th, 2019 and our lives have never been more full. We are so excited to make our family whole with the celebration of our marriage. We can’t wait to see everyone who has supported us through our highs and lows and celebrate our love story!
