We first met when we were young kids (11-12) at Turtle Mountain Bible camp. Dawson had bleach blonde hair and my friends and I would constantly call him "bleachy". I never admitted it at the time, but I had the biggest crush on him. When camp was over, we found each other on Facebook, and even Skyped a few times. Years went by, and we had completely separate lives, not really acknowledging each other, but only really knew each other from social media. Every now and then I would click on his profile to see what he was up to, checking to see what kind of deer he shot that year, or fish he caught! (loll) We grew up living an hour apart. I lived in Killarney, and Dawson lived in Brandon. Once I graduated high school, I moved to Brandon to begin University. Within the first few weeks living in the city, my girlfriends and I decided we were going to go out partying on a Friday night. It was September 21, 2018. We entered the bar, and within minutes, Dawson and I made eye contact. He was not supposed to be there that night. He had tickets to a hockey game, but ultimately decided to stay in Brandon and go out with his friends. Thank god he did or we might have never crossed paths. He approached me and asked to buy my friends and I drinks. We danced together, got to know each other, and eventually spent the rest of that night together, and ever since then we have been together. We became official about a month later, and a few months shortly after that, we were living together in our first home in Souris, MB. Over six years together now, we have brought two amazing babies into the world, travelled, moved to a few new houses before finding our forever home, and grown so much together. Now we can't wait to celebrate our lives and love with all of our friends and family!
