Our journey began in 2017 at Auburn University, during our freshman year. We ran in the same circles, met through a mutual friend in Sigma Tau Gamma, and quickly became close friends. Noah and I bonded over late-night conversations, shared chaotic freshman adventures, and an easy friendship that felt effortless from the start. Freshman year took an unexpected turn when I faced medical challenges that forced me to step back. Noah was always there, offering support in the quietest and most consistent ways. When I went home for brain surgery in May 2018, he never missed a day—calling, texting, making sure I knew I wasn’t alone. That summer solidified what we both already knew: this was more than friendship. When we returned to Auburn that fall, we officially started dating, and we’ve been side by side ever since. Together, we’ve navigated life’s highs and lows—two brain surgeries, a global pandemic, graduations, first jobs, loss of loved ones and 5 moves. From beach getaways to Nashville weekends, every trip became a new memory. After graduating, we moved to Gainesville, FL, where I worked at the University of Florida and Noah at the Gainesville airport. Then Noah landed a job with ALDOT in Montgomery, bringing us full circle—back home to Auburn. One of our favorite places in the world is Cape San Blas, Florida. It’s a spot Noah introduced me to, and I fell in love with it immediately—its quiet beauty, the sunsets, the food, the feeling of being completely at peace keep bringing us back. It was only fitting that this special place became the backdrop for one of the most unforgettable moments of our lives. In June of 2025, in front of the historic Port St. Joe lighthouse, Noah got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him. Our story has been filled with love, laughter, and the kind of unwavering partnership that turns life’s challenges into shared victories. We love movie nights, cooking together, traveling to see our families, playing Rummikub on our new patio and spending time exploring Alabama. We cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
