how we met 

It all started with a gum wrapper 

Thomas and Hope were in the same pre-calculus class together. Hope started to ask Thomas for help and answers on the homework because she had a C in the class, while he had an A+. Whenever Thomas explained the boring math equations to Hope, she paid much more attention to him! Slowly, the two became casual friends, and Hope would drive him home from school sometimes. They discovered that they used to ride the same school bus, but never really interacted. One day, Hope needed a fun date to the prom, so she slipped him a piece of gum in math class that said "prom?" on the wrapper. Surprisingly, he nodded his head in agreement!

what lead to forever

we made it official

On April 19th, 2019, Thomas asked Hope to be his girlfriend at Smith Park in Brentwood, TN. They had no idea how long this relationship would last!

College

While Hope was going to school at UT Knoxville, Thomas would visit and FaceTime her all the time! 2020 was a rough year, but they still managed to have some fun.

Thomas is finally at UT Knoxville with Hope! Life is so fun, and everything is right in the world.

 Three Years in Knoxville Together 

Now, Hope is attending East Tennessee State University to pursue a Master's degree in Speech Pathology. Thomas is finishing up at UT Knoxville, but they are still able to visit each other often!

the end of an era 

Thomas surprised Hope with a trip to Sedona, AZ and the Grand Canyon. He wouldn’t tell her any plans, and she just had to go with the flow. On June 24th, 2024, he proposed to her at the Grand Canyon during sunset! Their parents flew in from Nashville to celebrate with them afterwards. What a big surprise!
