Somehow the world got really small in the best way possible! A couple days after graduation, while getting ready for our senior beach trip to Port St. Joe, I added Ben back on Snapchat… and found out he was from Centre, Alabama. What are the odds?! My family has had a farm there since I was born. I had literally been around his lifelong friends for years, birthday parties and all, and somehow, we had never met. Then it got even crazier… we ended up at a beach an hour apart from each other, the same week. I remember joking around, asking where they were staying and telling them they should come hang out, and they actually did. And me? I didn’t speak to him the whole day because I was so nervous! But somehow, from that moment on, we were inseparable. We officially met on May 30, 2024. Started dating July 12, 2024, right before the Cartersville Rodeo. And now… fast forward to March 21, 2026… HE PROPOSED!! From almost crossing paths a hundred times… to finally finding each other at the right moment. I’ll never get over how it all worked out !!
