Contrary to everyones belief, we did not meet at General Dynamics when we both worked there (it's a big place, okay!?)! It was December of 2021 and Morgan was on her way to Evansville, IN, which is her hometown, for the evening for her family's Christmas party. She needed to get fuel and a Ghost Energy Drink (Lime specifically) and walked in to pay. A man held the door for her and looked at her Eco-Diesel truck and said "Damn, that is a diesel ain't it?", in which she responded, "Yeah. It's a piece of shit. Do you want it?" They both laughed and he introduced himself as Ben. Morgan gave her name and they went their separate ways. This went down in Ben's hometown of Eldorado, IL. The story moves forward with Facebook friend requests, then we spoke a few times. Morgan found out he actually worked at General Dynamics, but apparently he already knew she worked there! Late night hikes in the Shawnee entailed, memories were made with family, we bought our dream horse and dream truck together and quickly became inseparable. Finally, after Morgan returned from an extended weekend trip for an ultra race in Alabama, Ben proposed in our driveway looking at the exact mountains we began hiking together when our relationship began. We wouldn't trade this Illinois fairytale for anything in this world. We thank God daily we crossed paths because we truly fit each other perfectly. We are so excited to share our day with you. We are looking forward to every part of it! Love, Morgan and Ben
