We began officially dating in early October of 2018, although it should of been way before that. I have what some would call a "Hard Head", and can be completely oblivious to things that are happening right in front of me. I guess that's just part of being a young man more focused on work than starting a family. I cannot change the way I was, but, long story short I regret not asking Traci to go steady with me long before I finally asked her. It was a short 7 months into our relationship when it hit me... I want this girl and her 2 beautiful kids to be in my life for good. I want to marry this girl. I have never felt this way before in my entire 25 years on this earth. I've always heard the saying "when you know, you know", but didn't think people actually believed in that stuff. But I can honestly tell you that it is indeed true! I just knew this is exactly what I wanted. I was truly in love with the woman of my dreams! Zak and I were at a music festival in Ohio when I broke the news to him. I told him I was planning on asking her to marry me. To get to the point, it took months of deciding when, where and how I was gonna do it. But, I finally figured it all out, and that's a whole other story to tell!
