We met playing beach volleyball at a YSA activity hosted by Andrew's ward! It was Hailey's first time attending the Frisco YSA ward, and she was just as loud and competitive as she is today. The first thing Hailey noticed about Andrew was that he was tall, and had brown hair. The first thing Andrew noticed about Hailey was that she had pink hair and had a nice smile. After a long night of playing volleyball, Hailey organized a dinner at her favorite restaurant, Hula Hut. Of course, Andrew made sure he came. Everybody had a great time, and Hailey started to realize that Andrew was a great guy and that she wanted him in her life. Andrew stalked Hailey on Facebook and realized that she was pretty cool too. And the rest is history!

It all starts in the state of Arkansas. Hailey had a wedding to photograph at Petit Jean State Park that Monday, and Andrew was off of school so he was able to come with her. After Hailey's wedding was done, they decided to go hike a waterfall overlook trail. Side note: it was not a hike at all, but Hailey chose this trail because she doesn't like to hike, but Andrew likes waterfalls haha! Once they "hiked" the waterfall overlook trail, they stopped at the top to take a photo, or so Hailey thought. While Hailey was taking a photo of the waterfall, Andrew was asking somebody to take a "photo" of us. Instead, Andrew set the phone setting to video, walked up to me to pose us for the "picture" and then got on one knee. In the video itself you can't hear anything Andrew said, but you can hear Hailey exclaim, "yes!" After the proposal, we went to the lodge at the state park to eat celebratory burgers! It was a great morning, and an even better afternoon :)
