We unofficially met at Beachmont, we knew each other for a while but never really talked. Our first time hanging out was when our mutual friend, Jordan, invited both of us to IHOP to hang out with us one last time before she left for a missionary school. The next weekend after Jordan left, Nathan asked Hailey to go to IHOP again, this time just by themselves. From then on they started hanging out weekly, going on walks and going line dancing a lottt. People started to pick up on the relationship and saying things to each of us. We continued denying every suspicion that we were dating and hanging out more and more frequently. Then, one day Hailey and Nathan were building a Lego Bonsai Tree in Nathan's room when Nathan asked Hailey to become his girlfriend in January 2023. After that they continued going on walks and going line dancing. That summer they both worked as counselors at Beachmont in group 4 and 5. They then had to go long distance as Hailey went to Cedarville University which was hard but grew their relationship. Hailey transferred back to HCC and finished her sophomore year getting to hang out Nathan and play lots of pickleball. Finally, they got engaged on their friend groups yearly trip to Outer Banks on the sand dunes! They look forward to starting their lives together and growing together!
