Engagment Story

  
Calvin and I landed in San Diego, California Wednesday evening and headed straight to our destination in La Jolla, a small tourist town right outside of San Diego. I was so ready to go down to the beach and relax but Calvin insisted that we get ready for dinner and then go to the beach. I asked Calvin what should I wear something casual or dressy he says he’s going to dress casual so I’m thinking dinner is nothing fancy and we are just going to go down to the beach and watch the sunset before dinner. We get down to the “spot” right off the La Jolla cove, this view is amazing!! I see stairs and immediately want to go down but Calvin insisted again that we should go where there is less people, so he starts walking towards people?? Half way to the bridge where he wants to go he then stops and says wait lets go back so there we go turning around going down to the same stairs I had originally said lets go to. Little did I know that he was trying to figure out the spot the photographer was at and had no idea where he was going. Lol We finally make it down the stairs and I’m so amazed by the view, I’m turned facing the ocean taking a video on my phone and when I turn back around and see Calvin down on one knee. I am so in shock that I thought he was joking and told him to get up (omg) and asked is this real he then proceeds to ask me to marry him! I don't remember fully what he said or how I replied, I just know my heart had never been so full! And of course I said YES A MILLION TIMES. It was absolutely perfect! We had an entire crowd around clapping and congratulating us afterwards. Calvin’s such a romantic and had a photographer taking photos the whole time, it’s so amazing looking at them now and having no idea he was about to propose. We had such a blast with Mike and his wife taking pictures after the proposal. Calvin and I both said that our cheeks were hurting from smiling so much, but definitely worth it.

I have always dreamed of the day that I found someone who loves me for me and expected all my imperfections. I can finally say that I have found that man, and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for our future together. Calvin and I met summer of 2013 through a mutual friend and instantly became best friends. I remember my friend saying “you’re gonna like him” He pulled up to pick me up from Chuy’s Mexican restaurant in his mini cooper, and when I first saw him and was like geezz he’s such a cutie, way out of my league. But we instantly clicked, and we were inseparable that summer. I remember spending just about every weekend together before I left for college in august. We were either dancing at Wild West in Lubbock or driving back roads in Monahans. Summer came to an end and we eventually went our different ways, but it never failed that anytime I was in west Texas we would run into each other and it was like things had never changed. A couple years went by and I decided I was going to move back to Lubbock. Then a thing happened, and I ran into Calvin again September 2017 we became a couple and ever since then I can’t let him go. I have always wanted to marry Calvin James and now I am FINALLY GOING TO BE A FRANKS, still feels so unreal but I am so excited to start wedding planning!
Thank you ALL for the sweet comments and messages these past few weeks. We are over the moon!!

An Open Letter To My Little Brother On His Graduation Day

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you. Declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” To My Bubba: Tomorrow’s the Big Day! The day you’ve been waiting for, twelve years down the road. I bet you’re a little nervous right about now, tomorrow you’ll be walking the stage with your fellow classmates. This week has been special, getting to celebrate with all your close friends your High School Graduation, only happens once.

Grateful for Twenty-Three

Good Morning Loves! Today's my BIRTHDAY, I am turning 23 years old the oldest I've ever been! Seem like now-a-days the years just keep going by faster, but I am thankful to have lived another one. This morning I am celebrating with my family and three banana pancakes, from the best granny. To continue the celebration Calvin and I are headed to San Antonio this weekend. I am so excited to have a fulfilled weekend with him doing some of my favorite things. Thursday we plan on going out on the town for a little dancing, Friday we are floating the river, and Saturday calls for a relaxing spa day.  This shoot has to be one of my favorites, we took these pictures at a local Ice Cream Shop Holly Hops. What's a better way to celebrate your birthday than with some cake batter ice cream?! SOO DELICIOUS! Todays outfit is so fun and bright. Who else loves wearing yellow in the summer? Brings out your tan, even if you don't have one. LOL Hoping to add some color to me t...
