We met when we were 15 and 16. A childhood friend of Justin's gave him my name and told him to text me. Our first date was at Double Dip Depot for ice cream, and the rest is history!

For spring break this year, we decided to take yet another road trip down to North Carolina. The van died on the highway 30 minutes into our trip. Justin frantically spent 1.5 days trying to fix it, with no luck. We decided to throw everything into his car, and hit the road again. It was the most spontaneous thing we've done! We spent our days walking around our favorite mountain towns, checking out new breweries, and hiking. The first hike we did, we took a wrong turn and never found a picture-perfect view. Justin had the ring hiding in his pocket the whole day! We turned around and planned another hike for the next day. We were exhausted from the day before, but started on another hike and made it to the peak. The views were INCREDIBLE! 360 degrees at the top of a mountain. We were the only ones up there, taking pictures and amazed at God's creation. Justin set up the tripod to take a picture, and ran over to me to get in the shot. He immediately dropped down to one knee and pulled out a ring. He wasted no time! He secretly filmed the whole thing, including all the "are you kidding?"s and happy tears. We're still over the moon and can't wait to celebrate with you all in August!!!
