Camdon Myers & Abigail Strickland June 2, 2017

CAMDON AND I MET IN 2006 AS 6TH GRADERS starting out at Kirksey Middle School in Rogers. Our story began, like many middle school relationships, with Camdon teasing me as his way of showing he had a crush on me. Throughout the rest of middle school and the beginning of high school, Camdon became a really close friend. It wasn’t until the end of our sophomore year at Rogers high school in 2011 when Camdon finally asked me on our first date to TCBY, for it’s opening night.

As high school ended and college began we chose to pursue our sports at different universities. Camdon played baseball at a small school is Kansas while I was on the dance team at the University of Central Arkansas. We continued dating throughout this year apart until Camdon transferred to UCA in the fall 2014.

Summer before our senior year of college began and after 5 years of dating, Camdon staged the perfect proposal combining my two favorite movies, Beauty and The Beast and Sweet Home Alabama at Chapel on the Creeks. The ring he proposed with is so special to me because the diamond in the center was my grandmothers.

There was no doubt in our mind We were both very traditional in that we wanted our wedding to be in wanting our first time seeing each Rogers. That was the town we met other to be when I walked down in, where we were the aisle so our raised, and where photographer One of my favorite we one day hope to suggested a “No memories of the day was raise a family of our look first look.” our “No Look First Look” own. As wedding Throughout this planning started, entire session, I knew I wanted to get married in neither of us opened our eyes at all, a church, but more specifically, the we just felt one another’s presence. It place where Camdon proposed. was both so emotional and intimate.

Without a doubt our wedding day was the best day of our lives.

We have never felt so loved by all our family and friends and we were so grateful to share such a special day with them.

58 years and still having fun!

We met in high school. Don's uncle and my dad were business friends.

When Don's family moved and he entered my high school, I promised I would look him up. I was dating others, but found Don was very nice and polite. We didn't date until he was in the Military and I was in college. He was anxious to marry, but I wanted to complete my undergrad degree first, and I did in late May. The wedding was June 19, 1960, and it was dreamy! We have movies from the wedding, even though we weren't sure we wanted that at the time. Our wedding day was just a small part of our memories in 58 years of marriage.

Don is retired from being CEO at Farrell's Electronics, and Karolyn is a well-known artist in NWA, she volunteers with non-profits, and donates art to non-profits.

We have mutual spiritual values, family values, and respect for the environment and each other.

We love traveling and have done so every year! I paint in Tuscany, Giverney, and Scotland. I also paint in the West, especially Santa Fe and Taos. Don fishes in many of those areas, as well as in Canada and Alaska. We are blessed with two wonderful children and their spouses and three grandchildren.

We all believe in God and work to help others in our respective professions and activities.

Love grows and changes, and intimacy is often better over time.

Our core values, being able to convey our feelings and talk about important experiences has been wonderful for our relationship... and we always have fun!
