We first met through mutual friends while in college at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville (Go Vols!), in August 2015. The semester when we first met, I was preparing to study abroad in Europe for 6 months, but we went to football games, sorority/fraternity date parties, and spent as much time together as we could that semester. I was determined not to date anyone while abroad... but as much as I fought it, I found myself falling for Chase before leaving for Europe. Chase ended up working multiple jobs and saving up his money that semester to come visit and spend a month with me in Europe. This was the first time Chase had ever been on a plane (!!!), and that's when I knew he meant business! Since our time in Europe, we have been through so many life changes - including both of our graduations, Chase starting his career, and the beginning of my Doctorate of Physical Therapy program. We have been each others' support systems for many ups and downs, and Chase is the best person to have on my team, regardless of the circumstances. During the second year of my graduate program in March 2019, Chase and I saved our money to visit my sister, Kendall, in Australia. I was anticipating another amazing adventure with Chase per usual, but he had something extra planned. He had been scheming with my sisters, Ryan and Kendall, for months about how to propose while we were in Australia. After dodging pouring rain and a grouchy Cam (oops) all day, Chase proposed to me while we were at the beautiful Hyams Beach in Jervis Bay. Kendall was there to photograph everything, and I was absolutely shocked, to say the least. We spent the rest of the night celebrating while a monsoon happened outside! We were welcomed back to America by our favorite people celebrating this exciting time! We cannot wait to celebrate our story and this exciting time with all of our family and friends on October 3rd, 2020!
