We met in Mrs. Jefferson's fourth grade class at Rivergold Elementary School. After we were assigned to be in the school play "Sweet Betsy From Pike" (Eva-Kalei playing "Sweet Betsy", and George playing her husband "Ike"), we quickly noticed that we had many similarities, and soon became lifelong friends.
We both grew up loving the outdoors and therefore activities like camping, hiking, swimming, etc. On July 16th 2024, George took Eva-Kalei on a mountain lake hike and then popped the question overlooking "Jackass Lakes".
