It is finally happening!

I knew one of his best friends for about a year prior to us talking. For some odd reason, I grew interest in getting to know Macen my junior year of high school. I texted his friend asking for his phone number and that was when the famous "first text" happened.... "Hi, this is Mariah from ACH!" Oh how we will never forget that. He didn't take me seriously at first, but then a month went on and we were still talking. He came to one of our high school football games and that was our first time "hanging out." He wrapped his arm around me and my stepdad made sure to make a comment right away. After that night, the rest was history! He asked me to be his girlfriend on a very snowy night in his old Chevy pickup writing "Will you be mine?" on his fogged up window. I got in a lot of trouble with my parents that night because I wasn't answering their texts and they had to come get me, but that night brought us to where we are today.

We have been together for almost 8 years now and have been through so much! Between moving around 5 different times in just 4 short years, buying our first home with lots of projects, having two amazing dogs that bring us lots of joy, and just all of the other crazy things we have been through! We are very excited for this next chapter of our lives and cannot wait to see what the future brings to us!
