A wise mentor of Brady’s (Graham) once said “Dating? More like intentional courtship and marriage my darling.”

It is important to note that neither Chandler or Brady thought much would come out of the first date. We both knew there was potential for a good time, but we certainly did not expect much more than something to laugh about the next time we crossed paths. A lot of laughter did happen, but a lot of great conversation and shared passions were revealed. We met in Zilker Park (quickly learned how sketchy Austin is) and spent hours walking & talking. After about 3 hours of walking in the heat & a water pit stop at Whataburger, we decided to head to dinner. Brady planned for us to eat dinner at the Oasis, an Austin hot spot on any day, especially a Saturday. In true Brady fashion, he did not make reservations. We arrived at the restaurant to learn there is a 4 hour wait. Took a moment to check out the Oasis (very scenic place on Lake Travis, great views) and opted to head back to central Austin to find a different spot (which also had a long wait so the time all would have been the same). The entire date was spent talking on a hike, in the car, or at a table. Much of our conversation was about our beliefs & understandings of faith, marriage, parenting, family, etc. It was very obvious we held shared values regarding these important topics. It began to click that this girl may be the one to become “my wife, mother of future little Corbitt’s, and my best friend.” The date ended very late but before parting ways, Brady asked if she wanted to do this again the same time next week and, to his surprise, she said yes.
