Our story started at the very beginning of 2014. We just returned back to school from winter break and I found myself in class with my sweet Tanner. He swears I was "obsessed" with him, but I would just consider it as I was just being very consistent. It obviously worked though because on March 31st, 2014 he asked me to be his girlfriend in an incredibly cheesy way! That is when it all really began. We had dated for a little over four years leading up to the proposal. In those four years we endured a lot of painful losses and a lot of change in our lives which only made us stronger. Tanner had me 100% convinced I was going to have to wait at least another two years to get engaged. I was so eager to get engaged but I was willing to wait as long as it was going to take. It was Father's Day weekend and we spent the weekend with family as we were also packing and planning on leaving for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Monday, June 18th, 2018. We left early in the morning and somehow Tanner managed to sneak my ring in his pocket and had it there the whole car ride. He insisted that we stop in a little town called Cookeville, Tennessee and go hiking. We started walking and everything was going good beside it was a million degrees outside and we were both melting. After walking about a mile down a massive hill we finally get to a beautiful waterfall! We found the emptiest area to sit together to just admire the beauty we were surround by. Tanner and I were trying to figure out how to get a picture taken of us considering there was no one around us. Little did I know he was about to get on one knee! Being the genius he is, he figured out how to make the rocks sit just right so he could prop his phone up and set a timer to capture the whole thing! Now a date is set for me to marry the man of my dreams and I can not be any more excited to see how the rest of our story goes!
