Reception

It was fall 2013. &nbsp;Caleb and Sarah were both freshmen at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. &nbsp;Caleb was an athlete - a runner&nbsp;on&nbsp;the cross country team. &nbsp;Sarah was, well, not so athletic... Among the various separate&nbsp;activities that both were involved in, their connecting point was the&nbsp;Salvation Army Student Fellowship band. &nbsp;On the first day of band rehearsal, Sarah noticed Caleb as he walked into the band room and took a seat opposite hers in the low brass section. &nbsp;Throughout rehearsals Sarah would often look up and notice Caleb was looking back at her.&nbsp; Weeks were spent making awkward eye contact before even speaking to each other. &nbsp;In fact, their first conversation was Sarah's apology for the constant eye contact! &nbsp;This started a friendship that would slowly blossom into something more.



Over the next few years in college Sarah and Caleb&nbsp;grew closer, with&nbsp;many deep conversations taking place in the Asbury&nbsp;student center, on the steps of Sarah's dorm, or wherever they could find a place to sit and chat. &nbsp;Over time,&nbsp;Sarah started questioning if her friendship with Caleb could be something more. &nbsp;What she didn't know was that Caleb was thinking the same thing. &nbsp;Several months later, on January 12, 2017,&nbsp;Caleb asked Sarah on a date - dinner and a movie. Classic move! &nbsp;After the movie, Caleb asked Sarah to be his girlfriend.

How We Met

The 9 and a half months between the first date and the proposal were&nbsp;full of new changes. &nbsp;Sarah spent 6 weeks teaching in Costa Rica, they both graduated college, and began the dreaded post-grad job search. &nbsp;Their relationship endured all of this,&nbsp;and they knew they wanted to settle close to each other. &nbsp;(Everyone knows long distance is no fun!). &nbsp;In the&nbsp;fall of 2017 Sarah began her job as a school teacher in Nicholasville, Kentucky and Caleb began working as an accountant for&nbsp;the Salvation Army in Lexington, Kentucky. &nbsp;Supporting and encouraging each other during this&nbsp;chapter of "change" is what solidified the feeling for both&nbsp;that the&nbsp;relationship would last. &nbsp;&nbsp;Spending 4 years building a solid friendship was a HUGE help in that! &nbsp;

On the evening of October 28th, 2017, Caleb took Sarah out to dinner at the same restaurant that they had their first date - Cheesecake Factory! &nbsp;On the way home, Caleb took a different turn than the normal route home and we took a walk back to the spot where we first talked about the &nbsp;possibility of starting a relationship. &nbsp;At that point, Caleb brought up&nbsp;many of the wonderful&nbsp;memories since then, and added one more. &nbsp;He got down on one knee and asked Sarah to marry him. &nbsp;She left him waiting a few seconds as she cried like a baby, joyfully said "OF&nbsp;COURSE!", and they returned to her apartment where a surprise engagement party was waiting for her. &nbsp;
