Our story begins May 5, 2018. We both volunteered to work the Kentucky Derby and out of all the places we could have been assigned, we ended up in the same area. We meet and talk for 3 hours about life, family, and of course the Derby. May 8, 2018 we have our first official date. We spend the summer getting to know one another and by fall we are inseparable (and in love). Christmas we split between our families so everyone can meet. With family approval we come back to Kentucky. We spend a wonderful January together and on February 2, 2019 we our engaged! All it took for this love story to happen was for a Georgia girl to take a teaching job at Fort Knox, Kentucky in order to meet her North Carolina boy stationed there.
