Story
In Fall of 2018, Haley was recruiting for a mission trip she was leading to Mississippi that upcoming Spring and Cooper's name came up on the interest list! Cooper signed up for the trip although he almost backed out last minute because he knew he wasn't going to know anyone. Haley's type A nature versus Cooper's fun and easygoing attitude meant it was not love at first sight. As the trip went on, Cooper realized Haley wasn't as strict as she came across at first and started messing with her to get her to relax. Good conversation on the ride home and hanging out with mutual friends afterwards opened us up to spending more time together and eventually doing things on our own. We started dating 3 weeks later!
