Beau and I met on June 18th of 2015. Yes, we met at a bar, and look at us now! What's cool is that I had just returned from a backpacking trip around Australia only a few weeks before. Of course, his accent caught my attention, but also the fact that he was a whopping 6 foot 8 inches and easy on the eyes (tall, dark, and handsome... CHECK). My friend, Sara Stone, and I were enthralled by this group of Australians all night, and it continued the next day when we saw them again. After they left, I thought our mini love story would fade since he lived 10,447 miles away (basically like the furthest you could be lol) but it definitely did not. By October we found ourselves wanting to be exclusive (what???) and by December we were meeting up in Bali with friends. In 2016, Beau basically lived in America, visiting 3 separate times for 1-2 months each. I made the deal that if he came to visit me while I was studying to get my Masters, I would move to Australia when I graduated. Well, I kept my promise and moved to the fabulous city of Perth, Australia in May of 2017. Beau and I finally got to be a couple that lived in the same country for once (might of had some FaceTime withdrawals at first) and it was delightful. When the expiration date of my 1-year visa started to creep up on us, we decided that we might give Texas a try next. Yee haw! Shortly before I had to leave the country, Beau and I took a 2-week camping trip across Western Australia (A. MA. ZING.) and got engaged! Now, after another year + apart, Beau is here in Texas and we are so excited to start our lives together as a married couple. We are so grateful for all of the love and support from our family and friends, and we can't wait to celebrate with everyone. See y'all at the ranch!
