About Us

Matt and I met over six years ago while working together at an establishment that we try not to think about. We would normally hang out in a group of people and over time it ended up being just the two of us. I was living in a townhouse with Tracy at the time when Matt came to pick me up for our first date. On October 2, 2002 we had our first date at Applebee’s. Little did I know, but as soon as we walked out the door, Tracy called Julie and told her that I just left to go on a date with a 20 year old! As most of you know, I am almost 4 years older than Matt. I did not know his age at the time we started “talking”. One date led to two, then three, and here we are today planning our wedding!

We were also both undergrads attending Mississippi State University. Since then, I have earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Counselor Education. Matt earned his bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and is almost finished with his thesis then will receive his Master’s in Electrical Engineering.

We still live in Starkville, MS. I have recently taken a job with the Starkville School District working as a Mental Health Counselor with middle school aged students. Matt is a graduate student for the Center of Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) with the university, which is where he will continued to work once he graduates and his thesis is finished.
