Chase and I met in October of 2017! The very first time he met me, I was blacked out drunk in his living room! I have no recollection of it other than I was with my then best friend, her boyfriend, and his friend. Chase and I then partied together with all of his buddies almost every weekend for 6(ish) months! All I knew of Chase was “SAVANNAH!” From across the room in which I always replied “CHASE!” But we never actually heard a full conversation. Chase and I had never met sober. We were crazy 18&19 year olds that just wanted fun. Until one thanksgiving break a year later… I had gone on a road trip to Louisiana with a friend. Chase was racing in Conroe! He messaged me and said “you should come watch!” Not thinking I actually would show up… I proved him wrong! Not only did I show up, but I think drove with him an hour or so to Livingston to see his family! No phone reception… someone I hardly knew… a family I definitely didn’t know… in the middle of nowhere… yeah… maybe it wasn’t the greatest idea… ANYWHO! I stayed the night in a camper with him! (Get your minds out of the gutter, he wouldn’t even hold my hand.) the next day he raced, which was my first time even hearing about motocross! His mom took lots of pictures! After the weekend was over, I left early and started the drive home. Once we were home, his mom sent me the pictures she had taken of me. I was MORTIFIED. I remember thinking how huge I was. I told them “please don’t post those. I look huge!” Chases reply was “well, wanna go to the gym with me?” He’s a real charm, let me tell ya… So I did! We went every day for 3-4 months. Somewhere along the line chase said “But if you get hot, I call dibs!” And we eventually started dating! At the end of those 3-4 months, I called it off. He wouldn’t hold my hand, wouldn’t kiss me, I had to pry hugs out of him, it was not what I wanted at the time. I wanted someone to love on me, and honestly thought I wanted to get married and have kids. In which Chase said “Go get a puppy.” Looking back, he was so right. Always, go get the puppy!
A year or so after we broke up, I get a phone call at 11:45pm. It was Chase. He had gone to the bar, had a few too many drinks, the girl that was with him left him for some other dude, and he needed a ride home. Me being that friend, got up, got dressed, and headed to Guitars. I get there, pick him up and start to take him home. But not before he makes me turn around because he needs something out of her car. I find a parking spot and wait. In the mean time, this BIG TALL guy comes up to my challenger window and says “take care of my buddy!” That guy is Mr. Bradley Rinehart! Turns out, chase didn’t NEED a ride. He would have had one. But Bradley bet him he wouldn’t call his ex to come pick him up. Chase kept me up until 3:45am that night talking my ear off. Not realizing I had to be up at 6am to be at work by 8 at the airport. I finally kicked him out of my car to go home! Valentine’s Day comes around a couple weeks later… I was going through a sucky breakup and Misty invites me to go Axe throwing! Tommy Hawks was having “Axes for Ex’s” so I had to go print off a picture of my ex and then was able to go. BUT, Chase had a new girl! Also names Savannah! Colton and Kelley were there and Misty and Robby too! We had fun! It was a good night. I believe Colton even told Chase “If you make it through tonight with your Ex and Savannah, you’re golden.” But I think we all knew she wouldn’t last long! Because a couple weeks later Misty messaged me again “Hey! Want to come watch LSU play?” Psh. “No. I don’t watch football!” Was my reply. She said “well if you get bored, come hang out!” I was reminded several times until she finally said “ *girl who left chase at the bar* is here and won’t leave. Please come over.” So I did. She went from “I’m gonna skip work to hang out with you.” To “oh, I gotta go” within two minutes of me walking through the door! That was the last time I saw Chase for a few months. Then Covid hits! My job at the airport cut back our hours quite a bit and I needed a new job. Chase messaged me and says “hey! Message my mom! You can help her out in the shop!” This is where our forever begins! Chase worked nights… 2pm-12pm… I worked in the shop 7:30-1ish. Guess who was in the shop DAILY with me until he had to work? He ran on very little sleep just to see me. Or pick on me… People would ask misty “is this your daughter?” And she’d say “no! This is my sons Girl Friend.” Meaning Friend… that’s a girl… But chase picked on me. So I gave him crap all the time “oooooh, your mom called me your girlfriend!!” Until one day he said “well, then I think we need our second official first date!” That weekend we went to Applebees followed by our first of MANY sleepovers! (Again, get your mind out of the gutter…) The next day I woke up to “I have a question to ask… will you be my girlfriend?” My reply? “Will you hold my hand this time?” We’ve been together every day and every night since! We’ve moved out of my house into a fifth wheel where we lived for a year and a half, built a Tiny House out of a 12x40 Portable Building, added 7 dogs to our family, and taken COUNTLESS vacations! We love this life together and are so happy to have everyone on this Adventure with us!
