Drew & I met at Fuzzy's Taco Shop in Lubbock, TX. I made plans to meet up with my best friend Lindsay when she got into town on Friday night for margaritas and tacos. We hadn't been there for very long when Drew walked by the table we were sitting at. On the way back from the bar, he stopped to serenade us with his rendition of "Wide Open Spaces". After he was done singing to us, he sat down next to me, and kept the margaritas coming our way. Within a couple of hours, Lindsay decided he was going to be my date to her wedding. His friend John Hayden had given me his wallet to buy him a concert ticket to meet up with us the next day, and we had already taken numerous photos together. I followed him down Broadway that night, and he has followed me around pretty much every day since!

I made plans in November of 2019 to go visit my friends Lindsay & Tim in Seattle, Washington. I had been begging Drew for weeks to take off work and come with me. He told me there was no way for him to get off and promised he would come with me the next time. Lindsay always has a full itenirary planned when I come to visit to make the most of my time there. My first day we were supposed to go on a hike. I didnt realize it at the time, but that morning she was stalling. She steamed the carpet in the living room. We grabbed brunch at a place in town, and finally around noon we started our hike. What I didn't know was early that morning Drew had flown into Seattle where Tim picked him up; they were already waiting for us at the end of our hike! When Lindsay and I got to the end of the trail, she positioned me in front of the water falls for a picture. As soon as she got me posed, a group of hikers walked by. I noticed the last guy was really creepy. He was walking with an umbrella covering his face and upper body. As soon as he reached me, he dropped the umbrella and got down on one knee. It was Drew! He asked me to marry him and I screamed YES!
