Ben and I met in 2020 while we were at Texas Tech. I remember asking the next day, “Who was that boy who took his hat off to meet us?!” I was smitten with his southern charm from the start! The rest is history. We became college sweethearts. Ben is now a Trauma/Surgical ICU nurse at UMC, and I’m in occupational therapy school at TTUHSC.

We can’t forget our adorable pups, Mr. Flash and Miss Frankie. These little stinkers keep us on our toes! We love road trips to Ben’s ranch in Doss, TX, visiting wineries in Fredericksburg, and spending lazy Sundays with the dogs.

Ben proposed in Lubbock on June 6th, then surprised me with the sweetest engagement party, surrounded by all our family and friends. We’re so blessed to have such amazing people by our side as we take this next step together!
