N & S

Our story: Sara and I first met at Melton Truck Lines (where we are both still currently employed) back in 2022. The first time I laid eyes on her my heart fell out of my chest… I had never seen anyone so incredibly beautiful in my life. Most people don’t expect to meet the love of your life at the same place you work, especially if one is in HR… but I had to shoot my shot. I spent the next several months building up small amounts of courage to go ask her “HR related” questions, most of which I already knew the answer to… but it was the only way I could see and talk to her at that time so I did what I had to do. Finally in the winter of 2023 I officially made my move by asking her on a date… it was freshly after breakups on both ends, so I did my best to play the “friend” role, but anyone could see that I was (and still am) head over heels for her. The months of flirting my way with silly HR questions & friendly lunch dates finally paid off when she invited me to a New Years trip to Nashville, and if I may say so myself, the rest was history. We officially started dating a few months after on February 23rd 2024. Since then we’ve spent our time traveling (Scottsdale, Georgia, Nashville and oh yeah… EUROPE BABY!), spending time with both of our incredible families and friends, and most importantly, we have enjoyed falling deeply in love with each other. Throughout our time together I’ve found that the most impressive attribute of Sara is the way she loves and cares for not only me, but all loved ones in her life. She is selfless, patient, reliable, incredibly determined, and most importantly, loves how Jesus loved. Being able to marry someone like that is the biggest blessing. The verse below from 1 Corinthians to me is the best description of what love truly is, that is what Sara brings to my heart everyday. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."  There is not a day that goes by where I don’t thank God for Sara Caitlin Loper. I cannot wait to start this next part of our journey together. Let’s go get married baby!!!
