We met at the softball fields in lovely Marysville, Kansas playing some slowpitch softball. At that time, Austin had long hair & a long beard, and Kelsey didn't even recognize him a week later at the Randolph tournament. Once he got that much needed haircut, Austin got her number at that tournament (rather smoothly I must say), they had their first date that night at Milford Lake with some mutual friends & as it's said, "the rest is history."

Austin invited Kelsey to family pictures with his family in Lindsborg, Kansas on October 28th 2018 when he (shakily) got down on one knee taking Kelsey by surprise! At first she actually said no considering he had jokingly "proposed" many times before this, but once she realized he wasn't kidding she excitedly said yes!
