In 2021, I moved from CT to Tampa, and he came from Louisiana around the same time. We started working at Carvana just a week apart and became friends through our circle. I knew he liked me, but I was guarded after a rough breakup. Still, he showed up for me every single day, proving his intentions were genuine. I had never experienced such steady commitment—and slowly, I began to fall for him.

One of our favorite moments was finding out I was pregnant—we both always wanted a family of our own. we were overwhelmed with emotion, laughing and crying in disbelief. The birth of our son was unforgettable too—both terrifying and beautiful. It was a roller coaster, but through it all, we had each other.

We would use it to help pay for our wedding on 4/2/2026! Since Kirkland works 20 days away and is only home for 10, this would also give him the chance to spend that special time with me, our son, and our family without the stress of work or travel. The poor guy works so hard for his family—he truly deserves this time to relax and celebrate!
