Me and Paden first met back in highschool, I was 15 and he was 17, through our mutual friend Hanah. Life was a lot different back then (especially because everytime he came to see me at my house we were carefully supervised by my dad who sat right beside us). I immediately knew that this person was meant to be in my life, and although we never seriously dating back then we always cared deeply for one another and were always close friends. As life does, we grew apart for a period of time, dated people, went to school, and went to work. I truly believe that Gods timing is always right and that our relationship was in God’s plan, because fate brought us back together. After not seeing each other for a little over a year, Paden showed up at my house with a steak and twizzlers on December 2021. It’s funny to say a steak started our relationship, but that’s the truth. We started dating a couple months after and I realized quickly that I wanted him in my life forever. In March 2023, he asked me to marry him and that was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. I feel so happy going in to this next chapter with someone who truly knows and loves me to the full extent.
