It was summer 2015 when we met at UTD. Connor was visiting a friend on campus when our paths crossed. We started talking and he invited Vicky to go out to grandma’s ranch for fireworks. Vicky and Connor would keep in touch and go on dates for about a year. Flash forward to December 2016 and Vicky surprised Connor with matching Christmas sweaters. Connor knew then that she was special. From that day on they continued their courtship and in May 2017 Vicky and Connor took the next big step and moved in with each other. That summer they started our adventure and love affair with nature. Connor and Vicky road tripped across Texas stopping at state and national parks all across the state. They hiked the highest point at Guadalupe peak and explored the caverns of Carlsbad. In January, Connor was introduced to Vicky’s wonderful sister, Michelle, when we flew out to Seattle. Upon returning to Texas it struck me that I found the person with whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life. The following year in July of 2018 Connor proposed and the rest is history.
