Heidi Elizabeth McCoy and Casey Morgan Pryor met in the halls of the Chillicothe Middle School in Missouri in 2003. They both competed in track and had mutual friends throughout school but never hung out much. Heidi graduated high school in 2008 and left for University of Missouri - Kansas City in pursuit of a business degree. Casey graduated in 2009 and attended a few colleges before enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. In 2016, Casey moved back to Chillicothe where he was reunited with Heidi and introduced to her pistol of a daughter, Henli Ann at a barbecue. Casey and Henli bonded and were best friends immediately. Their connection bloomed over a summer of steady visits, adventures and secret gas station candy. Finally, after months of feeding Casey and letting him use her shower, Heidi got the courage to ask him to accompany her to a wedding and he eagerly accepted. The night was full of great conversation, dancing, and plenty of shenanigans - but above all, it was absolutely electric. The rest, is history.
