Tommy worked a weekend job at Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers while in high school where he met my older sister, Ashley. Ashley thought it would be a good idea to introduce us. We started hanging out on the weekends just as friends by going to the movies, playing the karaoke game, Singstar, and riding around in Tommy's bass hitting Toyota Celica. We then started dating and have been together ever since through high school, college, and moving to Austin, TX!
We planned a trip to Maui, Hawaii for May 2018. For our anniversary, Tommy bought a helicopter tour that included a ride over Mt. Haleakala, the Hana rainforest, and a touchdown on a private cliffside as one of the excursions on the trip. As the helicopter took off, we soared over the dormant volcano and enjoyed listening to the pilot tell us all about the history of the island. Once we landed on the cliffside, Tommy told me we should walk out towards the edge to see how far down the drop was. Soon enough Tommy took my hand and dropped down to one knee, much to my amazement and excitement. Once the big moment happened, Tommy mentioned to me that the photographer on the ride was actually there for us and they proceeded to have a mini engagement shoot right around the area before heading back to the airport!
