It all started at the University of Tennessee Rec Center, where Caleb and I first crossed paths working as intramural referees. We spent a lot of time together—calling games, making calls, and laughing through the chaos. One of the standout moments was a trip to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for a flag football tournament. It was on this trip that we started liking each other!

Not long after, Caleb created a playlist for me filled with his favorite songs! Then, in February of 2023, Caleb officially asked me out, and our first date was at Abridged, a local Knoxville favorite known *by us* for having the best burgers in town.

From that day on, we have been inseparable. Whether it’s hiking and backpacking in the Smoky Mountains or exploring new cities, our time together has been filled with adventure, laughter, and growth. More than anything, we look back and see God’s hand in every step of our journey—guiding us, growing us, and bringing our hearts together in a way only He could.

Now, we're counting down the days until we say “I do,” ready to embark on a lifetime of love, faith, and adventure—together!
