"The first time we met, as most know was just over a year before we actually started dating. I made some mistakes so meeting Chris was inevitable. He was very kind and didn't just hook and book. 😉


Fast forward a year and a few months and he found me at yet another job. He came in with his friends and ordered food. Soon he started coming in alone, almost every night, well morning between 4-5am. He mostly ordered a taco salad and water. But he usually left with a milkshake on the house. After about a month of him coming to see me while I worked, I asked him to hang out outside of my job. The day was February 21, 2015. Since that day we haven't spent a day without seeing each other.


On March 14, 2015 Chris told me he loved me and our lives have never been the same. Little did I know, this love was the real deal.


Our lives started fast, but I wouldn't have it any other way. A few months later we found out I was pregnant with our beautiful Clarabelle. It was the last thing either of us thought we wanted at the time, but it was the very best thing ever. We buckled down, found a place together and did what we needed to do.


In 2018 we bought our first home.


In March of 2021 exactly 6 years from the day Chris said those three little words, he proposed. He took me to the restaurant that we were at only hours before he told me he loved me. He gathered my parents and his mom without me knowing, which is crazy because if you know Chris he doesn't do surprises very often. So I was shocked. Everyone knew but me... of course we were about an hour late because I didn't think there was any rush, just thought we were going for lunch.. But everything came together, even though Chris was upset because he thought it was ruined. But it wasn't, it was perfect!"
