Our Story

How We Met

It was August, 2004 and the bus lane at Henderson Middle School was filling up. The buses were opening their doors, unleashing hundreds of anxious and excited teenagers into the halls for the first time in their preteen lives. Amongst the excitement and buzz in the air, were two kids whose lives were about change forever. However, not in the typical pubescent way that everyone experiences. For these two were destined to meet, and this was the day that fate would bring them together. Little did they know, they were about to meet the love of their lives in those very halls.

The Proposal

After spending six months thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, there was no doubt that she was my person. Over the course of our nearly 2,200 mile trek we shared a small tent, a single pot and often the same spoon. There were countless challenges we faced together, often resulting in tears and exhaust. Still, we stayed in love and happy with each other's company. At our finish line in Georgia, I proposed to Lillian with my grandmother's ring. Starting our next grand adventure.
