We first met at a SIUE club soccer practice in August of 2016. We both had taken over the teams that year as club president and exchanged numbers to collaborate on practices. Fun Fact: Connor actually had saved my number under Abby.

We started dating on my 21st birthday and went on to graduate from SIUE in 2018 - I became a nurse and Connor decided to attend the University of Arkansas to get his masters in athletic training. The long distance began and so did the countless FaceTime dates, weekend trips, and adventures.

After five and a half years together, Connor finally proposed January of 2023 in Denver, CO after a snowboarding trip in the mountains. He even got to propose in sweatpants, true Connor fashion! Our dog Gus is also excited for me to officially be his mom!

We cant wait to celebrate with you all in June!
