While Connor and Grace both grew up in Choteau, they did not get to know one another or become good friends until Connor moved back home after finishing his masters degree at Purdue University. The two began talking one night at the Legion in town. Connor was out with Sarah and her friends while Grace was with her cousin Chandler and his wife, Darby. As it got late, Connor was soon left behind by the group. There, he asked Grace out and the rest they say, is history!
