We met how most couples do these days.. the interwebs tangled our hearts via TINDER! His profile picture was too much to pass up (I mean the man was dressed to the nines in retro tennis gear!) ! So I had to swipe right! And it was a match! Our first date was planned for May 16th. I bailed on him last minute because I had forgotten it was my mothers birthday and decided to take her to dinner. While at dinner, I naturally brought him up. Her reaction was priceless! She said, you're wasting your time with me when this boy could be the one! Boy was she right! So, we had our first date the following day. We began dating there after, and fell in love! Banks is the perfect amount of weird, sweet, and sensitive! I always love telling people how thoughtful he is. For example, instead of giving me flowers, he would send vinyl records to my house. The first one being Gary Clark Jr. followed by Leon Bridges! We both share a love for music, and have gone to a lot of shows together. The Engagement - a true fairy tale In June of 2018, we took our first international trip (Thanks Susan) with his mother and sister. The list, Scotland, London, and a day trip to Paris (I know). When we were all deciding where to go in Scotland I had asked if we could go to Isle of Skye. I had wanted to hike the fairy pools while we were there. We get to Skye, and the next morning we wake up to go hike. He asked, are you taking a shower? I said no, we're hiking I will when we get back. Then he said, is that what you're wearing? I said yes, we're hiking... lol I really had no idea! We started our hike, and I'm just in awe of everything. We made stops along the way. One stop, I took off my shoes, and rolled up my pants so I could walk in the water and look for rocks. Hallie had suggested getting a picture of us. And when it was done, he had gotten down on one knee and asked me to marry him!
