Hayden and I met at Walmart as funny as that sounds, I knew and had a crush on him while we were in high school. We had a class together and that is how I had first known him. Years down the road we became friends through some coworkers at Walmart, and of course because we crossed paths almost everyday. I actually invited Hayden to the lake with some of my friends at the time. Slowly having out more and more he became my safe person and my favorite person to talk to. I began sleeping over at his house after the night of the fair on July 17th 2024. We have been inseparable ever since. In September Hayden then moved in with me and we have started dating, we got our cat Cricket and a few months down the road got a new place. After many months and holidays passed we decided to go on a coastal trip just the two of us. We planned for July 9th through 11th 2025. Shortly before the one year mark of us. On July 10th 2025, Hayden and I hiked down to a gorgeous secluded beach off the side of Harris Beach in Brooking Oregon. We set up the tripod and took pictures, while capturing these beautiful moments Hayden decided to start a video instead. As I was ready to pose for the next planned photo, he hugged me and reached in his pocket. In that moment he grabbed the ring, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. YES! Im so very lucky to get to spend this life with him, as he is my person forever on.
