I like to think our story started way back in 8th grade, when we were just kids & life was simple. We had a little spark during the summer leading up to high school but eventually fizzled out. We were young, young enough that seashell anklets were the thing you brought back to the girl you liked. Fast forward to the 4th of July after we graduated where me & Matt rekindled at a friends party. We caught up & before I knew it I was headed to matts house where I thought the party was moving to. I wasn't there for more then an hour when my pregnant bestie barged in & took me back the party. After that I really didn't think we would talk again. It wasn’t until February 1st 2015, when a random number texted me “Hi” I then replied with “Who is this” & it was history from there. We talked everyday up until June when Matt finally decided to ask me out on a date. We went to sheetz, got some snacks & headed to what he called the pebble park. We talked for what felt like HOURS. From random off the wall questions, to future goals, all the the way down to marriage. I think that’s when I knew.. After an apartment, a crazy dog & house later. On September 14th 2021 Matt got down on one knee on our front porch with my family there & asked me to marry him. & now 8 years later here we are about to start this new chapter in our book.
