Considering we're nerds, we met in one of the nerdiest ways: Band class. We both were assisting our professor with his "Band Booth" to recruit more students to take music classes and to join the Concert Band. We inevitably joked around and got to know each other a bit. Unfortunately, we never actually saw each other outside of band class. It wasn't until our mutual friend set us up to date that we actually "clicked" and became inseparable. Even with Austin joining the Navy, we were constantly writing letters and then talking on the phone until one of us fell asleep. We're truly each other's best friends and make one another the best versions of ourselves. There has never been a doubt in our mind's that we would end up where we are today: happy, determined, supported, and getting married.
