It’s happening!!!

It was summer time in 2016, the 4th of July to be exact. The rodeo was happening at the Badlands in South Dakota. It was a beautiful evening! Hanging out with mutual friends, Levi and Meredith were introduced for the first time. It wasn’t until a couple weeks later during Gold Discovery Days in Custer SD that Levi and Meredith saw each other again. Over the next week they became inseparable friends. Conversation was easy and the quiet drives out scouting elk and deer were relaxing. Summer ended and Levi moved back home to Idaho. With FaceTime and texting it was as if no distance separated them, yet they were 1000 miles apart. November came and Meredith went to visit. There were butterflies in her stomach and he felt nervous too. The unsure feelings turned into excitement and within minutes it was just like summer time. Before she left to go back home Levi made one request, no more friendship and she told him yes! How could she not with his green eyes and grin! Now a year and half later, a lot has changed, from rodeo friends to fiancés and soon to be the Gilman family, party of four!!!
