How We Met

Thank god for siblings

To be honest if it was not for our siblings; Noah and Summer dating first, we probably would have never met each other. Derek Dj'd my graduation party because Noah thought that would be a good idea. I had mentioned to Noah how I thought Derek was kinda cute, and so of course he brought it up to Summer, who relayed the message. The next week he had friend requested me on Facebook and messaged me saying we needed to supervise the littles ones on a date sometime, a couple days later we were watching the Cavs game together and the rest is history!

Officially Dating

7/20/15

When Derek and I met I was not 18 yet... ooppsss... He had not kissed me yet, I actually joked to my mom that I thought he was gay. Then when I asked him about it, he told me the real answer. So Finally when I turned 18 on July 7th, we had our first kiss! The month went on and my girlfriends and I were getting ready to go on a girls trip to Myrtle Beach on 7/21/15. I came over to visit him the day before we left, and of course he had to lock me down before then. He asked me out in the driveway before I left, and we have been together ever since. I knew very early into our relationship that he was the one I was meant to spend the rest of my life with.

She Said Yes

5/28/19

She was on a girls trip to Nashville for her friends Bachelorette Party. She came back smelling of stale booze and looking like she just got hit by a train. (*HE STILL WANTED TO MARRY ME) I'd been holding on to the ring for awhile by this point and was waiting for a good time to propose. We had just closed on our fixer upper and were having family and friends over to check out the house before we started gutting it. I figured of all times this would be the best. Everyone wanted to get a picture of us standing in front of the house so as we were standing there I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me and she said YES!
