The following dates explored both individuals passions - which included a LOT of hiking, plants, scientific conversation topics, and good food.

On Allie's 28th birthday - December 12th, 2025 - the couple arrived in Arches National Park for a long weekend of camping and hiking. They started their park exploration with a hike to the infamous Delicate Arch. At the peak of their hike, they finally arrived at the stunning 52 foot tall, natural free standing arch formation. After waiting their turn to take pictures directly under the arch, Cade had a big surprise to reveal. Allie had her suspicions of what was to come, but was swept away in the beauty and perfection of this moment together. Getting down on one knee, Cade asked Allie to marry him and spend the rest of their lives together - of course Allie said 'YES!'.
