Randy and I met at Union University. I actually met him through his ex-girlfriend (they were dating at the time and his girlfriend and I were Resident Advisors together.) We were in the same major so our paths crossed quite a bit. We started off as friends never thinking that we would date or be anything more. We finally started to date in October 2006. We had many trials while trying to have a long distance relationship (he had already graduated). However, God helped us through all of them. The Proposal February 23, 2008 I had gone to see him in Dickson at his grandparent’s house. We were about to go out to eat when he looked at me and told me to wait because he wanted to give me my Valentines gift. He brought me a green bag and sat on the floor. I rummaged through the bag wondering if anything was even in it since I could not feel anything. That is when I found a small black box with gold accents. I looked at him and asked what it was. He told me to open it. As I opened the box, I said “Oh my gosh!” (Or so he says. I don’t remember saying it.) He was on his knees and he asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes and after we finally finished jumping up and down I ran to get my phone to call everyone. I stayed on the phone for the next 2 hours and when we finally got a chance to go eat everywhere had a long wait. We ended up at Wendy’s and ate chicken nuggets. Isn’t that romantic?
