Austin and Leah met by chance on August 30, 2019 during our first week on campus at a game night at McLane Hall. The very next day we played golf together at Sammons golf club (Austin wants it on record that he won). Later that semester Leah told Austin about an opening at the Alumni Center where she was already working. It was at Alumni where we grew closer and closer. We bonded over Snowmageddon, where UMHB froze over and we were stuck in a room together all week. On September 14th, 2021 our friendship turned into something new and exciting. We had a great two years dating before Austin proposed on September 24th, 2023. On June 15th, 2024 we can't wait to celebrate with all of our friends and family!
