We met, or were acquainted, at David Lipscomb Middle School in 2012. We maybe spoke a few words to each other during our times at Lipscomb, but had a few of the same friends. We reconnected in December 2018/January of 2019. We pretty much face-timed and/or called/texted for hours daily. He was in Nashville, and I was at UTC in Chattanooga a couple hours away. We still managed to see each other as often as possible. We began dating in January of 2019, and our relationship took off from there. I transferred to Nashville State Fall of 2019, and moved back home to Nashville. I loved most every moment we were able to spend together and all the memories we have made thus far. We have traveled across the country together, have kicked cancer's butt together, and have made some amazing friends along the way! In September of 2020, we got engaged at Clingman's Dome in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. We are so excited to get married in August, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds! -Rachael
