Through work as nurses in the operating room can often be a subject of complaint, Whitney and Carl can be thankful for one auspicious moment. A friendship that began at work soon escalated to steak dinners, trips to Universal Studios, whitewater rafting trips, and a lifelong commitment. Among their many adventures, include a love of traditional archery and the outdoors.

Our love for archery has brought many amazing friendships into our lives. Many of which participated in the planning and implementation of the proposal. On April 21st, 2018, I proposed to Whitney at Brierfield Park in the presence of many friends, who helped place the ring on Whitney's arrow on the 24th target (a big lion for those that care). Beforehand, I was asked, "What happens if she misses?" To which I responded, "Trust me, she won't." Blessed for every adventure we've shared, excited for the ones to come. Thank you to all the friends and family who have made this love story possible.
