We met at our church's youth group, of all places, on the youth pastor's last day there. We stayed friends after the youth group disbanded, acted in the church Christmas play together, and finally ended up dating in November of 2021 (to the surprise of absolutely no one).
A few months before our 3 year anniversary, we decided it would be fun to take a vacation instead of doing a day trip as we have in the past. We stayed in North Carolina and visited locations in both Tennessee and northern Georgia. While in Tennessee, we hiked out to a 60+ ft. tall waterfall located in the Cherokee National Forest, which is where Christopher proposed. Photos are available in the “gallery” section
