It was another summer day in College Station, TX spent at The Cottages pool. My roommate had asked me to tag along to meet some friends at the pool, so we grabbed a cooler and drinks and made our way there... little did I know I'd meet the guy I'd spend the rest of my life with. Ryan showed up with his two friends Devin & Blake, and the legendary beer pong table that really brought us together. I casually introduced myself and asked them to play a game of BP and it was history from there. He was shy, but slowly opened up and well... from that day forward, we have spent our days side by side. Two years later we share a home, two fur babies, and two amazing families soon to be combined come October 1, 2022!

On this day, with little to mind, but SOME suspicion, our closest friends and family gathered in Rockne, TX to celebrate my graduation from SHSU. What I thought was just my graduation party turned into one of the most magical days of my life. Funny story: Ryan completely disregarded the plan that was set in stone to ask me to marry him. He was so nervous that he didn't even let my Uncle Michael get through the prayer and blessing the food before he was on one knee! I turned around, and there he was; the easiest YES of my life! I always told him that when the day came, I wanted my closest friends and family to enjoy the moment with us... and that he did execute!
