They met at the Linden Wildflower Trails 5k, when Austin was 12 and Haylee was 11. They became friends throughout junior high. Austin would often run his race in cross country, then follow Haylee and run part of hers with her. He would come over to her house unexpectedly throughout high school, and they eventually briefly dated. They reconnected later when Austin was home from Italy, and started dating long distance. Austin then surprised Haylee at the airport when she came home for leave from OCS. They traveled around during break visiting family. Then they went to Mt Nebo where they got engaged on December 27, 2020. Things got a bit wild. Yet, here they are reengaged as of September 21st, 2021. They will be getting married on December 31, 2021. The theme is Roaring 20s! They can’t wait to celebrate with y’all.
