Hayden and I both roamed the halls of Coyle Middle School and Rowlett High School together. We shared the same teachers, classmates, and graduation day. However, our paths did not cross until February of 2017. I moved back to the Dallas area in December 2016 to pursue my master's degree at SMU instead of staying in Nacogdoches at SFA. Thank God I decided to spend an egregious amount of money at SMU because fate led us together through one swipe on Tinder and the rest is history.

Anyone heard of a best friend photo shoot? Well I hadn't when my best friend Molly (matron of honor) asked me to do one with her. I thought this was a great idea! I love capturing moments with the people I love. It was a scorching day, but who cares because I got to spend it with my best friend. I made sure to have the perfect outfit on and my hair done just right, because it was a photo shoot after all! Molly made sure to set up the most photogenic area for us, and just as we are acting goofy and smiling for the camera, Hayden comes around the corner. Hand in hand with Bella (our dog) he came. She had a sign around her neck saying "Will you marry my dad?". Of course I said YES!! It was the most perfect day and we are so excited to spend this season with all our loved ones and friends!
