We’re getting married!

Well, I’ve had a crush on Race for quite a long time… He lived five houses down from me in our hometown of Stevensville Michigan. We went to the same elementary, middle, high school and college. But it took until I was 23 years old for him to really notice me. Race had moved to Texas for his job and was coming home for a visit. We hung out a few times and then he went back to Texas, a few months later he asked me to be his date to a wedding In Oregon. I spent five days with him in Texas and then five days in Oregon for the Lange wedding. After those ten days we knew we wanted to be together, but I had to go home to Michigan and Race to Texas. It was a sad day. Race came home for thanksgiving only a few weeks later. We spent everyday together. But again it came time for Race to go back to Texas, I was distraught. I had just been laid off from my job due to the pandemic and now my boyfriend was going back to the south. But then something wonderful happend, Race asked me to come back to Texas with him for a week. I bought plane tickets right then and there at his moms kitchen table. After about a week in Texas neither of us were ready to separate. Race asked me to stay till Christmas. And I said “why dont you just ask me to move in” to that he replied “would you?” And I said “of course” The rest is history.
