Cole and I met when I was working at an outdoor rootbeer stand. We followed each other on social media and started talking on April 23, 2014. We use that day as our anniversary date. Cole started off calling me his "lady friend" which I hated. Then the joke continued that he hadn't asked me to officially be his girlfriend. On December 17th, 2016 Cole got down on one knee, in front of his friends and a couple of strangers, and asked me to be his girlfriend. A few years later on March 25, 2019, we bought our first home together. This gave us the opportunity to give Pongo, our four-year-old Dalmatian, the opportunity to run in a fenced-in yard. We are very excited about this next step and hope each of you can celebrate with us!
