We meet at the Keeter Center, where we were both working as a part of our work/study program. We had a few casual conversations with mutual friends, but Matt really caught my attention after a prank he pulled on me one day--involving a hot metal fork! We started hanging out more intentionally after going to a concert in the summer of 2017, and began dating in the fall. Two and a half years later, and our story is just beginning.

I knew it was coming, but I didn't know when or how. I thought something was up when Matt texted me and asked to get coffee and chat at the Keeter Center; we usually go to Starbucks. But nothing happened, and I thought maybe I was wrong. I wanted to wander around the building and reminisce a little bit, then we ended up in one of the downstairs rooms. Matt pointed to some paper on the wall with Scripture printed on it. I looked at it for a few seconds, and then turned around to see Matt on one knee! I quickly said yes! He later told me that he chose that room because it was the exact spot he remembers seeing me for the first time... three years earlier.
