Our Wedding

Connor was the very first person I met in Fayetteville, since he was the one who moved me into my college dorm room, as my R.A. A few weeks later, I attended a campus-wide talent show with my friends, Zach and Lauren, to support a friend from high school. Little did I know, Connor played guitar in a rock band and was performing in the same talent show. Not only did he get second place, but he won me over too!

How We Met

Connor and I love hiking, so we planned a trip to Fayetteville to celebrate his birthday. Connor suggested we watch the sunrise on top of Hawksbill Crag, a well-known peak at the top of a hiking trail in the area. We woke up at 3:00 in the morning on October 21st, drove an hour into the woods and climbed the trail in the dark. At the top, we had coffee and watched the sunrise together. We asked another couple if they would take our picture and as I turned to pose with Connor, he was already down on one knee. Needless to say, I said yes!

Travel

This is our favorite restaurant/coffee shop in all of Fayetteville. You won't be dissappointed!

Arsaga's at the Depot

If you get in early or want to take advantage of Arkansas' beautiful hiking trails before you leave, I recommend Devil's Den State Park. It's only about a 30-45 minute drive and has over 10 trails, ranging from 1-8 miles.

Fayetteville has an amazing, award winning farmers market located in the town square, about 5 minutes from The Inn at Carnall Hall. From fresh baked goods to a wide variety of fresh produce and even live music, it's definitely worth checking out. Plus, there are a handful of boutiques - Savoir-Faire, The Mustache Store, and Riff Raff are a few of my favorites!

A lot of great memories were made at Willy D's, and the rest of Dickson Street for that matter. If you're a fan of piano bars, you have to check it out! However, the drinks are pretty terrible, so I recommend starting at Theo's or Dickson Street Pub first.

You have to check out Fayettechill! This is the most popular brand around town.
