Casey & I met at a Hurricane party in September 2019 going into my senior year of high school and we have been together ever since! We were officially dating in less than a week later. The second day after we met he invited himself over to a game night with my family and immediately started inside jokes with my dad. He was invited to a family weekend to Hallow-scream at Busch Gardens less than a month later & became a part of our family from the very beginning.
Casey was my date to my senior year Homecoming dance. My hoco-proposal to him included Thomas Rhett tickets (his favorite country singer at the time). We had so much fun with all of our friends that we are still super close to now & they are in our wedding party today!
Casey was sworn into the Army National Guard by his mom and I was able to be there to witness him make this commitment that has given him so many opportunities and experiences in life & his career
After only 4 months of dating, Casey was shipped off to Army bootcamp and AIT! At the time of him leaving, we thought we would be seeing each other again in three months, but then the Covid-19 Pandemic hit when he was away at bootcamp. The expected time apart tripled into NINE months of long distance that included endless hand written letters, care packages, and FaceTime calls that drove everyone around us crazy. We knew it was us in the long run and we made us each other's top priority. Though it was hard, we are thankful for that experience and how strong it made our relationship.
We became puppy parents when we added our sweet Moose to our family! Best decision we ever made. Our sweet boy is 3 now and our whole world.
Casey surprised Moose and I with a new puppy for my birthday! Koda Bear was the perfect addition to our family & Moose and Koda are best buds.
We bought our first home!
We wouldn’t have been able to hit this milestone as early as we did without the help of our parents. Forever thankful!
The engagement! Casey proposed on a suprise trip to Europe. He got down on one knee the first day of the trip in Venice, Italy!
