We met on the Baylor University Track and Field team in August of 2012. Bryce was quiet and Raena wanted to get to know him more. We went on several dates to the movies, to Cameron Park, and to Bryce’s favorite restaurant, Cheddars. We also bonded over Frank Ocean’s album, Channel Orange, and enjoyed competing against each other playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and Tekken (the only games Raena can beat Bryce in). As teammates on the Track and Field team, we have supported each other in our victories and our losses and have done the same in our own personal lives. Our relationship endured the greatest test of all when Raena moved from Texas to North Carolina for pharmacy school. Though we were over 1,000 miles apart, our bond grew stronger. Despite our visits to each other being infrequent, when we did see each other, it was always an adventure. We have traveled abroad together, have been on road trips, have been to several amusement parks, and have gone on other spontaneous expeditions. After four years of distance, we are finally in the same location in South Florida pursuing our career goals together. We cannot believe we have spent one-third of our lives together already, and we cannot wait to celebrate the official start of our forever with you! --- Bryce proposed to Raena on Christmas of 2019 in front of the giant Christmas tree in Millenium Park. Raena's parents and grandmother were there which made the moment even more special to her.
