Our story begins with two out of state students coincidentally settling on the University of Kentucky as their preferred institution of learning. Our freshman year we managed to cross each others path while attending a complete university-sanctioned “social gathering”. As my opener, I suggested that we both share something interesting about ourselves. With a rash decision, I decided to divulge one of my best-kept secrets of having attended ballet classes as a kid. To return the favor Heather informed me she has a tattoo of a cow on her foot. Before long I was attending Thanksgiving break at Heather’s parents' house under the guise of being “just a friend”. Following this trial run of meeting the family, Heather graced me with the official title of boyfriend! Together we were fortunate to share many experiences and memories of our time in school, anything from spring breaks to formals. With graduation around the corner, we were faced with the daunting task of deciding where we would continue the next chapter of our life. In Heather’s classic stubbornness she had her eyes set on cities such as Nashville and Chicago. I myself had my eyes set on Austin, so I prepared an informed proposition that we explore opportunities in Austin and completely convinced her! Well, not completely I did have to plead a bit. In 2017 we moved to Austin Texas. After a short stint in North Austin Heather convinced me that it was time to move to South Austin. During the two years of living in an apartment in South Austin, we fell in love with the area. Everything from the food, the social scene, and the atmosphere. We shared many great memories there including our engagement! To continue our time in South Austin we managed to purchase a house, which we are currently working on making it our own. Finally, on September 25th, 2021 we will be sharing the beginning of our next chapter in our lives with our friends and family and join each other in marriage!
