It all started when my best friend Emma was telling me about this guy she met! His name was Connor and little did I know that my best friend and her crush who would turn boyfriend (and now husband!) would introduce me to the man of my dreams! Emma had told me about her boyfriend’s roommate who was referred to as “Grandpa Grafton” which didn’t assure me that even with all his amazing qualities would go for a silly girl like me. After a few months went by, I graduated and I was still thinking about “Grandpa Grafton” and all the great qualities he was chalked up to have. I texted Emma and asked more questions about him to learn that he seemed similar to me in a lot of ways and shared the same values. So I did the most nerve racking thing and requested to follow him on instagram!!!! Emma and Connor set up a double date at Goodgrounds Coffee shop, i showed up early so I would be the first one there to have a minute to myself just to find that Grafton was sitting in a chair doing the same thing!!! This double date was the most easy and genuine date I had ever been on or thought possible. Grafton turned this small double date into a full day of Mexican food, pickle ball, what-a-burger and so so much laughter! The two weeks following I just couldn’t talk to him enough, he was so thoughtful and genuine, i quickly learned he was a one of a kind man I wanted to get to know deeper! We started officially dating and he made every date special, wether he showed up to my house with flowers or played me a song he thought sounded like us. Grafton and I quickly learned that we made a great team, he is an amazing servant leader and the best listener. I am so lucky to have a Godly man who has given me the best conversations and memories of my life. Grafton, I’ll love you forever, always, no matter what!
