I remember the summer of 2017 a friend approached me and said "I have someone I want you to meet". That is really where it all began. I think she exchanged a similar set of words with him. There really was no better time or place than for us to meet for the first time at the Oregon State Fair. So I got all dolled up and headed to meet what became the man of my dreams. Growing up most of my time spent at the state fair was spent in the Livestock barn. A place where Marcus and I had probably crossed paths a million times while we were growing up. God always has a plan though and his plan was for us to wait to connect until we were both ready and needed one another in our life. And just that happened. On Friday, August 25th our good friend Michele Bennett introduced us in the Livestock Barn at the Oregon State Fair. As Marcus says: " It really was love at first sight". Him smelling like a cow and all. And the rest is really history. Now every year it is a fun tradition for us to get to relive our first date. The Oregon State Fair, a livestock show, and of course a milkshake from the Dairy Women Booth.
