HOW WE MET? 

Drake and I met at The University of Central Missouri in November, 2014. I was walking to my dorm from class getting ready to leave for Christmas break. I could tell someone walking close behind me so I started to walk faster. My phone rang and it was Drake telling me to slow down because he was trying to catch up with me. I was really happy to finally meet him for the first time.

He walked with me back to my dorm and gave me a hug goodbye. Drake and I have talked and spent time with one another every day since.

​

FIRST DATE? 

Our first date was in January, 2015 when Drake took me to his best friend's basketball game at State Fair. We watched the game and I got to meet a few more of his best friends. After the game he took me to a steakhouse for dinner and at the end of the night he asked me to be his girlfriend!

​

PROPOSAL? 

Drake had the most beautiful proposal! He proposed on my 23rd Birthday when we were home in St. Louis. We went to rooftop restaurant overlooking the city for dinner with my family and his parents came too, they were in town just to "visit". After dinner we went outside near to the seating area with fire pits to take pictures. During our pictures he gave me a rose then asked me to marry him, and of course I SAID YES!

"I swear I couldn't love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow."
