Sarah started college, joined the UNT Rock Climbing Club, and met the very handsome club president, Austin.

Austin and Sarah worked for the UNT Outdoor Pursuits Center and grew their friendship and their love for the outdoors beside each other.

One of our first dates at a pumpkin patch!

Even early in our relationship, we spent a lot of time climbing outside. Here we are enjoying cold Spaghettios straight out of the can, eaten with the metal lid, our favorite climbing meal.

Contrary to the last photo, we also dressed up sometimes. This was the night that we said "I love you" for the first time- Sarah was so excited that she didn't realize she had lost her purse in downtown Dallas until the next morning (a sweet friend retrieved it for her).

Our first holiday season together, enjoying the lights in Denton, our college town.

Snugglin in Roy, NM.

Sarah took Austin to his FIRST CONCERT EVER!!

Austin encouraged Sarah to face her fears multipitch climbing in Diablo Canyon (she got soo sunburned).

Caution: we learned alpine climbing sometimes includes altitude sickness :(

We continued to grow our relationship while working for Summit climbing gyms.

Sarah took Austin to the "Chairy Orchard" as a surprise date. Sarah had no idea that Austin would one-up her surprise date by proposing here, four years later.

We adopted the sweetest most beautiful perfect fairy princess angel baby cat in the world, Nova.

Soaking up some sun!

More proof that we dress up sometimes!

Celebrating Sarah's birthday :)

On a climbing trip in Sante Fe.

We adopted Felix, a gassy felon who can't clean his own armpits and is wanted for arson in 37 US states.

We revisited our old stomping grounds, the UNT climbing wall for their annual climbing competition, which we used to spend hours routesetting for instead of studying.

Austin leaving no trace in Mount Rainier by eating it so a trace of it was never seen again.

Hot air balloon festival, but none of them actually lifted off the ground :(

Thanksgiving fun with Austin's family!

ENGAGED!!!!! THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!!

Enjoying the beach!

Sarah graduated with her master's degree in clinical mental health counseling!
