Bradon and I are high school sweethearts and grew up in the same hometown, Pittsburg, TX. He was a grade above me in school, but I always knew who he was since our school district is so small. In fact, I even had a little crush on him back in intermediate school! In high school, his best friend (and one of his best men) was dating my best friend. They introduced us and orchestrated a triple date at the bowling alley (much to my surprise). The night ended with the four of us driving backroads, and Bradon taught me how to shoot a shotgun at a racoon (what a country bumpkin story LOL!). We hit it off, and I invited him to my birthday party a few months later, where he asked me to dance to my favorite George Strait song. We clicked instantly and were dating within two week weeks, and the rest is history.

Bradon proposed in October, and he truly did the most to surprise me! My friends wanted to go on a girls trip during our fall break from LSU. Bradon encouraged me to go since he was "working all weekend." So we planned our trip and things we were going to do. One of the girls wanted to go to Arrington Vineyards – a winery in the hills outside of Nashville with a beautiful view. We got all dressed up to go and were taking pictures at the top of the winery. I don't often take solo photos, but one of my friends is a photographer and had her camera with her. While I was taking pictures, Bradon snuck out of the woods and proposed! He had taken a red-eye flight from Baton Rouge to Nashville to surprise me! It was such a sweet moment, and he did manage to surprise the heck out of me!
