Austin and Ruth met in June of 2022. After one "pre-date hang," they were inseparable for the rest of the summer. Austin asked Ruth to be his girlfriend in August of that year, after a date at the sunflower fields. Austin proposed to Ruth on a family trip to Ogelbay on Thanksgiving under the Christmas lights. The last two years have been filled with coffee dates, concerts, farmer's markets, hiking, and anything else we could turn into an adventure. Ours is a story of the Lord's faithfulness to us; our loved ones' support, and growing in love for one another. We cannot wait for a lifetime more.
