How We Met

11/22/2018

We met on the river at Jesse's family river camp. Ironically, his family camp is only a couple camps down from my family's houseboat, but somehow we had never met before then. I needed a ride back to my car at the landing and Jesse was happy to oblige. Not only did he give me a ride back to the landing, but when we got to the landing the river was high and he plopped down into the water in his water boots and told me to jump on his back so as to not get my feet wet. When we got to dry land, he asked for my phone and texted himself so that we would have each others phone number. As the old saying goes, the rest was history. We hit it off instantly and after 2 or 3 dates we began to see each other daily (while he was in town as he was working on the road when we first started dating). Just a few short months later (around 7) we signed a contract to buy a home together after officially dating for just 6 months. When you know, you just know.

The Proposal

2/27/2022

The day after finding out our baby would be a girl, Jesse asked did I want to go to Apalach and get something to eat to celebrate. Of course, I said yes! He said to dress cute but I was pregnant and battling constant nausea so I pretty much just threw on a t shirt and shorts and went with it. We always go to Apalach by way of boat anyways so I didn't see much reason to dress up to go on the river. We get to Apalach and my mom, dad, and my moms bestfriend are all waiting there for us on the dock. I was beginning to think something was up, but told myself if he had a ring he would've proposed the day before at our gender reveal while we were surrounded by family. He brought along our beloved dog bruiser (who has since passed), made sure to tell my mom to video and brought me to the dock and simply said, "Kristen, I love you. Will you marry me?" It was never a question. We were married in our hearts long before then.
