In the fall of 2014, we met at a Bible Study inside the Student Union at UNC Charlotte. At the time, Casey was a junior and I was a sophomore. We later learned we had a class together that Spring semester and that opened up an opportunity to get to know each other. The rest is history!

We had planned to spend Labor Day weekend with our group of college friends in Bryson City, NC. The trip had been planned for months and we were all looking forward to a nice getaway. Little did I know, the entire group had a surprise in store for me. On Sunday, we all got up early and started out on a hike at Tom Branch Falls. I suggested the longer route in the opposite direction, but was quickly out voted. About a quarter of a mile into the hike was when we came across our first waterfall siting. Casey asked me to take a picture and that was when our friend, Isaac, traded the ring for Casey's phone to take the picture. Of course, I said yes!! Casey had put a lot of thought into the proposal. We had taken our first picture in front of a waterfall over four years ago and he wanted to recreate that memory!
