A continuation of our forever story…

Online dating has been around for a while and I hated every minute of my experiences with it. I had tried a couple different ones with no success and had come across some real dingers along the way. I eliminated all of my profiles and decided I was going to let destiny have its way leading me to my Prince Charming. However, I had built a dating profile on Facebook, yes there is such a thing, and often believe I was the very first single on their new platform as it was weeks before I “matched” with anyone. When I realized I still had that profile lingering, I logged in to delete the profile, and lo and behold I had a message from a peculiar fella that said “nice wings.” Prior to deleting my dating profile I decided to go to my main Facebook and stalk the crap out of this Shane from Willard, OH fella to see what he was all about and I was intrigued and needed to see where this went. I went back to the dating messaging site and simply responded “thanks.” From there we messaged/text/talked multiple times a day as our kid’s and work schedules would allow. As we got to know each other on a deeper level I knew he was the one. This was it. This was where destiny had taken me and I was smitten. Our beliefs, values, goals, hurts, and heartaches were similar and we both were ready to rebuild and find that forever companion and person. Our soulmate of you will. We talked for several weeks before our schedules allowed a first date and we both were ready to say “I Love You” at the end of that first date. I told my mom this was going to move quick, but I was so sure about it and that she needed to just trust I knew what I was doing, to which she agreed. I could hear wedding bells. We talked about wedding plans, dates, colors schemes, and locations and put them on hold until a proposal had happened. We had even shopped for a ring, his idea!! 12-3-2019 OUR WORLD STOPPED and grief stood us still in our tracks, unsure of anything in life. Time. It took time and it is still taking time. While Wyatt is missed terribly, and we will never learn to live without him, we have found a way to get through our days the best we know how. 11-2-2024 Shane decided it was time and while we had already planned to get married, the date had been picked, the exact moment of the proposal was unknown. He took me to the lake for my “birthday” jeep ride and lake day. We went to the lighthouse. A kind lady offered to take our picture and he still regrets not having the ring on him then to do it there for her to photograph, but then we traveled to East Harbor and found a bench just him and I. He got on one knee, asked me to marry him, and said “let’s plan a wedding.” The timing was down to the minute of the year from the date we plan to marry. 11-2-2025 @ 4:30pm. See you there! ♥️
