Our story began at a track meet in February 2021 during our sophomore year of high school. We were both competing in the high jump when we met. After exchanging phone numbers, we spent the next few months getting to know each other. On April 28, 2021, Hayden took me on our first date to Granny's Restaurant, where he asked me to be his girlfriend.

Throughout the rest of high school, our relationship meant a lot of windshield time. We lived an hour apart and could usually only see each other on weekends. Between sports, school, and busy schedules, finding time together wasn't always easy, but we always made it a priority.

After graduation, Hayden went to college while I started working. He always promised that once he graduated and had a steady job, he would ask me to marry him. True to his word, on May 17, 2025, he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. Just a month later, in June, we moved into our first home together in Giddings.

Over the years, we've made so many wonderful memories together. Whether we're fishing on the coast, spending time with our families, spoiling our precious weenie dog, Glizzy, or enjoying a round of golf or a game of volleyball, our favorite place has always been wherever we're together.

Our journey has been filled with love, laughter, and incredible support from the people who mean the most to us. We are so grateful to everyone who has been part of our story, and we can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you on our wedding day!
