Austin first messaged me on Instagram and after texting and a few Facetime calls later we met at an Ohio University football game in Athens, Ohio.

We flew out to California for the weekend before I had to start my last semester of undergrad. We took a ride on a hot air balloon and as we were up in the sky, they laid out a sign on the ground that read "Marry Me". I turned around and saw Austin on one knee. It was so romantic and magical!
