We met an all girls track meet at Illini West High School. Beau was running a field event that Kendall was participating in and he asked about her high school since he had family from there. We later connected on Facebook and kept in touch throughout the years and reconnected several years later.

Kendall was working Christmas Eve at the hospital and she came home at 11:30pm that night, Beau had suggested we open our presents at midnight. Kendall opened her presents and while she had her back turned admiring her new crock pot, Beau got down on one knee. In their home that they bought earlier that year, he asked "Will you marry me?" When Kendall finally stopped hyperventilating she said yes! Now 650 days later they are saying "I Do."
