If you asked Ben his story, he would tell you that his chase started long before we even started talking and I just didn’t give him the time of day. But if you asked me, it all started when I was waitressing at Mac’s Last Cast. Ben & his good friend Coby King came in one Sunday afternoon for pizza. That was the first time I ever saw him. Crazy enough, that wasn’t the last Sunday Ben & Coby came in for lunch after work. In fact, the 3 Sunday’s after that they came in. It was August of 2022 when a handsome guy rode past me on a big grey at the Great Falls rodeo that said “Hey Shae”, and he made me double take who he was. We started talking and it was not until September that Ben invited me out to the ranch for a ride. On October 9th he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. During our relationship, Ben has stood by my side through graduating college & accepting my first teaching job. I have been by his side through making his first circuit finals & becoming a partner in the ranch. December 19th, Ben proposed & I said “Yes!” before he even had a chance to pop the question.
