Thank you for being apart of our love story. #onceuponapalazzi

Heavenly Father I thank you each and every day for crossing our paths. We are so very blessed to have such an honorable addition to our family🙏🏼. In my eyes our proposal was perfect! My Ben orchestrated a girls day with Rebekah, the very person that introduced us in the beginning. And boy! What a girls days, from deep conversations about meaningful topics over a delicious salad, to makeup shopping at Ulta. We then grabbed yummy 🤤warm coffee in the square and headed down my favorite Crystal Bridges trails... ( Where I caught the bouquet 💐 at a wedding last year). As we make our way down the trail, I see the most handsome pair of children and realize they ARE MINE! 💁🏻‍♀️ Standing next to them was the man of my dreams🤩..... who looked like he was a man with a mission. My heart♥️ started to pound louder then I could speak. My eyes swelled with tears as I knew what was about to happen. 🔥🤞🏽 The smile on my face grew uncontrollably bigger as I got closer. 😁 My Ben then gave me the speech of my life. 🥰He kneeled down on one knee and asked me to his forever. 🥳🤩 I of course had to think about it... 😂😂😂 I SAID YES. He then turned to my children and with a token of his love asked if he could be their Daddy. 😭😭😭😭😩🥰😍 Guys I ugly cried lol. There was nothing pretty about it. Mia lost control and balled her little heart out and latched on to him as to never let go. 🤲🏼 Here we are, a big happy family. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I’m sharing my love stories with you, because it’s true, love does exist, all it takes is the RIGHT person. Just know you have to be someone’s right person and they will be yours. I had so much hurt in me that it took a lot of patience and consistency on Ben’s part to allow me to allow him to be apart of our family. He stuck through every curve ball and persevered. I know it wasn’t easy but he’ll tell you it is soo worth it ♥️🌈 #myfairytaleisreal #onceuponapalazzi

My friend Rebekah invited me to “story time” on Dickson, fellowship we do with our church. We basically give coffee out to people and listened to thier story, hence the name. We’d been out there for a while when two gentlemen approached Rebekah and I, it turned out to be Benjamin and his bestfriend Andrew. Benjamin knew Rebekah through homeschooling groups, she introduced us, at the time I worked at Fitness4Less and was going to school to become a Realtor, so naturally I tried to get him and his friend to sign up for a gym membership. They said they lived in Huntsville nd it’d be too far of a drive. I gave up and let them be on thier way. Little did I know, that in the near future this man was going to be a significant part of our life. Months later in Febuary 2018 Benjamin added me on Facebook. He sent me a message stating that I probably wouldn’t remember him, but that he was a friend of Rebekahs. He was right!! I had no clue who he was. Any friend of Rebekahs is a friend of mine. We started to converse and to my suprise it was a very delightful and meaningful conversation. I knew he’d be a good friend to have. We continued to message back and forth for days, which is very odd for me, I very much dislike texting back and forth. But I found myself looking forward to his replies. He had spiked my interest. He then asked me out and I froze. I didn’t want to say yes or no. I just didn’t respond. He invited me to the trampoline park of all places. ( That was one of the questions I’d ask on a date, if they’d jump on a trampoline with me, climb a tree or go rollerblading with me.) The day of the occassion he texted me and said I know you probably aren’t going to show up but we are running a little late, at that precise moment I was passing the exit to the trampoline park, I decided eh, what the heck I’ve been meaning to go there. We met at High Rise, we had a erraticaly perfect time! The rest is history! We literally spent every weekend together after that. Decisions
