Better Together

Lucas and Sydney are high school sweethearts, but their story does not start there! In 2010, Lucas attended a function at the school his mother worked at, which happened to be the same school Sydney attended. Later that year Lucas attended “take your child to work day” with his mother, and this is where their story truly began! This day happened to be the day the student council was attending a Pirates game. Having extra tickets, Lucas was invited to attend. At the game, Sydney and Lucas bonded over bacon cheese fries, and exceptional Pirate’s baseball. They spent the next 7 years as high school and college sweethearts while overcoming a continued long-distance relationship. Everything changed on June 1st, 2020 when Lucas took Sydney back to the Jr High where they first met. There, he asked her to marry him and as they say... the rest is history!

August of 2019 Lucas started graduate school to get his Master in Athletic Training. Sydney and Lucas had done long-distance before but this was the real test, with 1,442 miles between them. In August of 2020 Sydney moved to San Marcos, Texas with their dog Finnigan to join Lucas. After his graduation, Lucas and Sydney were blessed with the opportunity to work at Fredericksburg ISD. Sydney is a Fifth grade English and Social Studies teacher, while Lucas is an Athletic Trainer at the High School.
