If you haven't seen Miss Congeniality, then where have you been?!

Our Wedding

Casey began working at Lowes in 2017, where she met Austin. They started dating in 2019 when Austin moved back to Grand Forks, and in 2021, they purchased a home together. Their home is shared with their two dogs, Hawkeye and Stella. In December 2024, they got engaged, marking the start of an exciting new chapter together.
