Garrett and I are both in recovery and have always been very vocal about that. In 2019 we were in the same treatment center, he was coming in and I was going home. Thankfully I found my way back a few months later And dove into sobriety. Garrett had already been doing so much work on himself and dove into helping others. In 2021 he had asked me to speak for him at a treatment center and after a couple of times of him asking I was finally free and able to say yes. The rest is really history, he took me on our first date the following weekend to Dixie bar and grill both of us very unsure of where things would go. That was 4 years ago, and we haven’t spent a weekend a part since. I knew pretty quickly he was the one I would marry, our personalities although so different are so much alike. We laugh like we are teenagers and have always been able to be ourselves from the moment we met. Garrett proposed to me 01/21/2023. I was 6 months pregnant with our daughter, I’m honestly surprised he still decided to pop the question after our long drive to Clearwater for the weekend and him not stopping at any restrooms for 2 hours being very pregnant, as you can imagine I was not very happy. But none of that mattered the second he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife every single thing i had ever prayed for came true. The man of my dreams gets to be my husband and I couldn’t be more grateful to have someone as selfless as him by my side
