With a desire to travel and continue her post-graduate studies, Cassie travelled far and wide to make this dream come true. (8,700 miles/14,000 km to be exact).

It was here, in the sunny Gold Coast, Queensland Australia that Cassie first met Tim. With a shared interest in delicious and cold beverages, Tim knew the perfect destination for their first date.

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon in May, Mother's day and Tim's Mum's birthday to be exact. After a week of spending time with family in the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Tim politely requested that his family drive him back home to Gold Coast on this celebratory day. Feigning innocence, Tim insisted on returning home as soon as possible to prepare for the upcoming work week. Mr. & Mrs. Bleasdale quickly drove Tim home with no questions asked, wishing Tim a lovely work week to come. As he waved goodbye to his parents, Tim knew he wouldn't be doing any work-week preparations on this particular day. He was running late for a very important date!

Racing to Black Hops Brewery in Burleigh, peddling as fast as he could on his bicycle, Tim arrived at 5 o'clock sharp- just as Cassie sat down with a frosty beverage. Time rolled on with hours of fun conversation, laugher and a booked dinner at Tim's favourite restaurant. By the end of the night, Tim asked "Are you free again tomorrow?".

The rest is history!
