How did you meet?
We met in November 2014 at our college, the University of Southern Mississippi! We were actually set up by a mutual friend for Blake's fraternity date party. I never would have been the type to think a blind date would work, but I'm a believer now!
What is your proposal story? And was it a surprise?
From the beginning, I knew Kayla was going to be very difficult to surprise. I accepted a job in Austin Texas this past February and was set to move in the beginning of March. Kayla came the weekend I was packing up to leave, so I knew it had to be then. I decided to hide the ring in the pocket of one of my pairs of pants that Kayla was folding. I was helping her fold the clothes, and it seemed like she grabbed every item of clothing EXCEPT the pair of pants with the ring! Finally, she picked up the pants and the ring box fell into her lap. When she looked up, I was already on my knee. The proposal fit both of our personalities perfectly; it was just the two of us in my childhood room packing up for our new adventure.
What's your favorite outdoor activity to do together?
We love to Eno! We're constantly scouting out the perfect Eno trees
What are your top 3 favorite places to spend your time in New Orleans?
The Fly, Dat Dog on Magazine Street, and anywhere eating crawfish
You are both hungry. Neither of you feels like cooking. How do you go about deciding what to eat?
This would rarely happen because Kayla LOVES to cook. But if we want to go out, I usually throw out ideas until Kayla decides what she feels like eating (she's the picky one)
What's the most recent concert you've been to together?
Panic at the Disco, Kayla's favorite band. We had awesome seats and even got to take a picture with the lead singer
What are you both most looking forward to this year?
Finally being together in Austin after two years of long distance!
If you win the lottery, what's the first thing you will do together?
Go to Disney World......no judgment
What celebrities do you get mistaken for?
This is easy! Blake looks like Luke Bryan. I don't really get mistaken for anyone, so I asked my lovely fiance' who I look like and he said "that girl from Frozen." So, I guess I look like Elsa?
If you both have a surprise day off together, how do you spend it?
Hit up South Congress, a popular street in Austin with shopping and food trucks. And end the day with The Office reruns on Netflix (our favorite show)
Would you rather fight 100, duck-sized horses or 1, horse-sized duck?
Fun fact, Blake is completely obsessed with ducks..... he even wants a pet duck! I asked him this question and his answer was "definitely the horse-sized duck". I asked why and he said, "because it's a duck." Nuff said.
