Austin and Jaime met in 2014 while working at Food City. They never dated but they always remained in each other's life through their friend group. The two continued to be friends until two years later at a bon fire at a co-worker's house. Austin walked Jaime to her car and told her to text him so he knew she made it home safely .The couple started dating the next month. Austin asked Jaime to be his girlfriend on October 30th,2016 in the Food City parking lot while walking her to her car after the end of their shift.
After dating two years , they decided not only to move in together but go one step further and buy a house together. They found a house on the outskirts of Erwin in February 2018 and after much renovation they finally moved into their house in August . The couple decided they're house was too quiet and adpoted their fur baby,Duke Reddick Lawson- Hensley, 3 months later. In 2019, Austin proposed in their living room while on his lunch break from work. Jaime was fussing at him ( per usual) about not putting is socks in the dirty clothes hamper. Somewhere during her rant, Austin got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. After choking on a tater tot, and shedding a couple years, Jaime said yes.
