We were childhood friends who attended the same middle school and high school together. We shared English classes together and talked so much we got in trouble and had to be separated on multiple occasions. Lyon even tutored me all through high school because I was terrible at math. When we graduated, we kept in touch by trying different Crumbl cookies every week together via facetime and Lyon constantly driving back and forth between his college and where I lived which was a 3-hour drive. We loved exploring all new places together around Texas such as driving to Dallas, San Antonio, and to Austin once a week. When I was moving to Oregon and got into my terrible car accident in Colorado, Lyon drove the 16-hour drive to come help me. We finished the road trip exploring places like Utah, Wyoming, California, Idaho, and many other stops along the way. We've been inseparable ever since then with us taking multiple trips to meet up together whether that was Lyon coming to Oregon or us meeting up in New York. Tired of the long distance we moved in together in 2024 when Lyon got stationed in North Carolina. Thats when Lyon popped the question surrounded by beautiful fall foliage on a lake, I said yes. So that's our story and we can't wait to celebrate the beginning of this new chapter with you!
