Growing up, we have always known of each other through mutual friends and even lived in the same neighborhood. Our first official date was the Auburn vs. Georgia game in Auburn. This was actually one of the years that Auburn beat Georgia! If you know anything about Chase and his love for Georgia football, you can absolutely guarantee he was mad about the loss to Auburn. Regardless, I had a great time and was hoping for another date. As the months passed, our relationship continued to grow. Chase officially asked me to be his girlfriend on January 3rd, 2014! I graduated high school in May of 2014 while Chase graduated in May of 2015. After completing two years at a community college, I transferred to Auburn University in order to earn my bachelors degree in exercise science. Not long after I transferred to Auburn, Chase was accepted to Auburn for mechanical engineering. I still to this day can't believe that he did not transfer to the University of Georgia, but secretly I am glad he didn't! I graduated from Auburn in December 2019 while Chase graduated in May 2020. Not long after graduation, Chase found out that he was accepted for a job in New Braunfels, Texas. I rode with Chase all the way to Texas so that I could help him get settled into his new apartment. Before I knew it, it was time for me to fly back home to Alabama. Chase lived in Texas for the next 7 months. After 7 months, Chase was able to relocate closer to home and I found out that I had been accepted to graduate school for physical therapy. Once I was accepted into graduate school, we found out that Chase would be accepting a job in Valdosta, GA. I was extremely happy to have Chase only 4 hours away instead of 13. Chase lived and worked in Valdosta while I was attending graduate school in Montgomery. We would plan to see each other on the weekends as much as possible but realized that the distance would not be forever. On October 13, 2023 Chase asked me to marry him at one of our favorite locations in Auburn. It was at that moment that I realized that the 10 years were only the beginning of the amazing memories to come!
