HOW WE METHER PERSPECTIVE

If you had told me that I would be going on a blind date to a fraternity event in College Station on a random Tuesday night with a boy who would one day be my husband, I would not have believed you – mostly because I promised myself I would never date an Aggie. The Lord is funny like that! It was Spring of my Sophomore year at Baylor. I remember my roommate coming to me at the very beginning of March, saying that she was going to a date event at A&amp;M, and that her boyfriend’s Little in BYX (their fraternity) wasn’t going with anyone yet. His Little happened to be none other than John David Callaway Dugger. To no surprise, I decided to say yes! A few days later and we were heading to College Station. As we pulled up in front of the house where we were meeting the boys, I suddenly felt nervous! I hadn’t really felt that way until that moment. The door opened, and there he was – tall, blonde, and handsome. In classic Olivia fashion, I loudly said “HELLO!” and gave him a hug in an attempt to ignore the elephant in the room, which was the fact that this was for sure a scheme to get us together. Spoiler alert: the scheme worked. I had no idea what the night would look like, but it exceeded any expectation that I had! If texting my mom 1 hour into our time together saying “I think I’m kinda into him” is any indication of how quickly I fell, I’d say I was perfectly fine becoming more than friends. One week later, I got a call from JD, where he said words that I had been secretly waiting to hear since our night at the date party – “I would love to drive to Waco and take you on a date.” I can confidently say that I made the right decision going to an event with a guy that I had never met before. 2 years later and I’m marrying him!

THE PROPOSALHIS PERSPECTIVE

Towards the end of May, I found myself looking for the perfect proposal spot in between Waco and College Station.&nbsp;I’m not sure how familiar the average person is with that stretch of Highway 6, but I consider myself a pro.&nbsp;And let me tell you, there isn’t much there. But then I remembered a few friends telling me about this Sugarloaf Mountain outside of Hearne, an “oasis of central Texas” they said.&nbsp;The only problem was that the property was privately owned, and I had no idea who the owner was or how to reach him.&nbsp;After a few weeks, I took a group of men on a backpacking trip where I learned that not only did one of the guys live outside of Hearne, but he lived right next door to Sugarloaf!&nbsp;My friend agreed to help me track down the owner, but after countless unsuccessful phone calls all we had was an associated business. So, I did what any lovestruck 20 something would do — I pulled a random home address in Tomball, TX from the business's website and convinced my roommate to get in the car for a spontaneous 2 hour drive.&nbsp;To my disappointment, nobody answered the door . . . so I wrote a letter explaining who I was and left my phone number and email address at the bottom of the page.&nbsp;After a few days of waiting, not even knowing if the address was accurate, I received the call I had been hoping for, with the sweet words “I’m gonna let you do this son.” Fast forward a month, and you could find Liv and I walking up Sugarloaf together as I prepared to ask her to marry me.&nbsp;It was such a sweet day for us and we’re looking forward to celebrating an even more special day soon!
