Some of my favorite teen moments were spent with Hannah Cook (Derrick’s cousin) and Courtney McDougal (Derrick’s sister). One night while hanging out, they pointed out that I had never met Derrick. Courtney said “Hey, you should talk to my brother! He really needs a good girl like you. Like, you’re pretty, but you’re not a brat.” LOL. So I took their advice and Derrick and I got in touch. Before we knew it, we were on our first real date at the Houston Museum of Natural Science – the perfect place for us to nerd out. We walked through the Cockrell Butterfly Exhibit hand in hand, unaware that years later we’d come back to this special place for engagement photos. Seven years have flown by and we are so happy to announce we are tying the knot!
