The summer of 2018 both Aaron and Aly worked at Miller Park Pool. It was Aly's first job ever and Aaron's second year working at Miller. Aaron soon began trying to talk to Aly and after many persistent requests convinced Aly to go on a date with him where they saw Incredibles 2. By August of that year they began dating and attending as many of each others school events as possible which included football games, school dances, track meets, cross country races, and eventually graduation. As both Aly and Aaron made the transfer from high school to college they began dating long distance as Aaron was attending University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg and Aly was attending College of Saint Mary in Omaha. Many long hours of driving to see one another followed and although it was hard they made the distance work and are now happily engaged and ready to move Aly down to Bates City, Missouri this summer!
