Matthew and I met at the volleyball club that I worked for. He was brought up there by our friend Josh, who had given his an interest in coaching. Once introduced there wasn't much talking, however, later that day I remember telling my sister, Analise and Matt remembers telling Josh, we thought the other was "Cute". We both started hanging out together with our coaching friend group and Matthew, shortly after, started texting me on the side. A couple weeks went by of nonstop talking and one night at work, back when I worked at BJ's Brewhouse, Matt had asked to meet me once I got off. Once together, I knew he was the one. I had NEVER had a kiss so magical that it gave me butterflies. I just knew he was something special.

It was Easter Sunday and both of our families were getting together for our Gender Reveal, and that was all anyone could think about, what was our baby going to be. A boy or girl? We were both so nervous! Little did I know he was nervous for more than one reason. It was time for the reveal and everyone had their confetti eggs to crack and find out the gender. Now if you know me, I am short and this should've been my give away. He had gotten down on his knee for me to crack the eggs on his head. 1...2...3!!! The eggs were cracked and we found out we were having a baby BOY!!! Matt and I had tears coming down our cheeks when he asked me to marry him and with so many emotions, there was no other answer but "YES!"
