Art and I had crossed paths at the University of Alabama starting in early 2012. In January of 2013, we both moved to Atlanta for accounting internships. We happened to live in the same apartment complex! After living in Atlanta for a month, Art asked me to grab a drink after work one day that week. We were both so excited we chose Monday! We had the best time and talked for hours at the Tavern at Phipps (still one of our favorite places)! When our internship ended in March, it was time for Spring Break. I had plans to visit my aunt in Jacksonville and Art had plans to visit his family at Daytona Beach. He had invited me to come to the beach for a couple of days to meet his family before I traveled up to JAX. For some people this would have been overwhelming after a month of dating, but for me I was so excited! I was able to meet his parents, grandparents and two of his aunts and we all had a blast! I knew even then that this man and his family were special!

We had moved from Atlanta back to T-town to finish our last classes before graduation and then we were off to grad school. I had decided to go to school in New Orleans and Art in Birmingham. It seemed like a lot after a short period of dating but long distance was something that we both wanted and we made it work. We had a blast exploring New Orleans and it will always have a special place in our hearts! After a year of dating long distance from Nola to Bham, we both moved to Atlanta to start our jobs where we interned. Over a year later on December 22, 2015, Art asked me to be his wife! Every year we have our own Christmas together before we head home to our families in Huntsville and Birmingham. The ring was wrapped and was the final gift I opened. I was in shock when he opened it and inside was my mother's engagement ring that I have wanted since I was a little girl!

We have been on so many adventures together, but we're ready for our greatest adventure yet! We can't wait to share it with each of you!
