We first met when I (Callie) changed schools in 11th grade. I started going to Christian Ministries Academy and before school started all the students stayed overnight at the school to kick off the school year. During that time, I noticed a brown haired boy and we kept catching each others glances. By the end of the night I told one of the girls at the school that I thought Jarren was cute and she told him! As the school year went on we grew our friendship and eventually began dating!
On a very hot day in May, Jarren suggested going to Arkansas' secret slice of heaven and our favorite place, the blue hole in Hopper, AR. The blue hole is a swimming area with cliffs, hiking, and even jumping. It is called the "blue hole" for a reason. The water is the prettiest color of blue! After canoeing for a while Jarren and I went on top of a cliff to jump off. Little did I know Jesse and Stephen (Best man & Groomsman) were across the water on another cliff taking photos of us. I was nervous to jump off the cliff and Jarren gave me a hug to calm me down and I noticed his heart beating really fast. I was thinking "Is he scared to jump off the cliff too?". Then shortly after, Jarren got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!
