We met in ag class our freshman year of high school when we were just fourteen- and fifteen-years-old. On December 14, 2016, we officially became a couple and have been together for five years since then. After we graduated Maypearl High School in 2020, we both started college at Sam Houston State University. In our second year of college though, Cody transferred to Texas A&M in Kingsville, about five hours away from me at Sam Houston. While the distance isn't preferable, we switch weekends driving to see each other. It's a lot of miles and a lot of gas, but it's always worth it to get to see each other. On December 15, 2021, Cody and I went to the Grand Prairie Lights, where Cody had asked me to be his girlfriend five years and one day before. He found the spot among all the lights where he wanted to propose and we went to "take a picture" there. My brother Samuel and his girlfriend Abby helped capture the moment when Cody asked me to be his wife and we all had tears in our eyes. Now, we can't wait for July 24, 2022, when we will start a new chapter of our lives together and we hope you all will be able to celebrate with us.
