We met at SEMO's move-in bash on August 17th, 2023. While searching the crowd, Riley spotted a group of familiar faces, with a few new ones mixed in. Hunter caught her eye and she felt drawn to walk up and introduce herself. After discovering we lived on the same floor, Riley found Hunter's room and jotted down the information on his door. She later reached out and invited him to hang out. To her surprise, he said yes, and to every other time she asked. After a month on, September 17th, we decided to officially start dating. Since then, we have been inseparable, learning and growing together. We have traveled around the west and mid-west with each other, exploring 7+ national parks, monuments, cities and other attractions. We plan to travel and explore so much more in the coming years. Hunter proposed on April 5th, 2025 at Trail of Tears State Park. We are excited to plan and start this next chapter together and happy to share it with those who mean most to us.
