Brandon and I met on the ol' Bumble dating app on 4/22/18. Conversation revolved around Fischer's mean mug and Cedric's block head. On 5/11/18 we met halfway in Russellville, AR for our first date. I didn't tell ANYONE except for Macy Reeb. I shared my location with her, gave her his contact information and picture. She checked on me a couple times to ensure my safety and even made sure I made it home that night (thanks girl). We first met at Fat Daddy's BBQ for dinner and chit chat. I remember walking up to him wearing jeans and boots and a short sleeve blue plaid button down. His height and good looks had me blushing with butterflies immediately. Afterwards we walked over to get drinks at the Old Bank Bar and the time seemed to fly by. We didn't want the night to end, resulting in my arrival back to Rogers at 2AM. From then on we were hooked on eachother and made back and forth visits from North Little Rock and Rogers every other weekend. In Jan 2020 I got approval from work to trial a "work from home" arrangement. Little did we know COVID would hit in March and everyone would be in the same boat as me. Quite the timing! After living together for almost a year, Brandon proposed on my 30th Birthday weekend! He surprised me at the Belle of Hot Springs Boat Tour with signs held by family and in front of our friends. We danced on top of the boat in true "us" fashion to live music and celebrated late into the night.
