Young love blooms into even more

Hunter,

We met each other when I was only 12 years old in church, and even though you were 16, I could not help but notice you.

We started dating two weeks before I turned 18, and the logic that fueled all of my decisions was tossed by the wayside. We married one month after I graduated with my bachelor’s degree from Campbell University.

You have been by my side through two graduations, starting my career, the birth of our beautiful daughter — who is this perfect cocktail of us — and now building my dream career in Clayton. I have watched you grow into a man that I am even more than proud of — as you are a local hero as a Garner firefighter. Your patience is unmatched. Thank you for loving every version I have morphed into throughout the years as we have grown up together.

Love always, Your wife
