We're getting married!

Andrew and Elise met for the first time in person a few months after she graduated from high school and right after he completed his first year of college in Montana. They continued to see each other throughout the summer until it was time for them to part ways for the following school year. Andrew headed back to Montana while Elise stayed in Colorado, both following their passion of playing baseball and volleyball. On September 17th, 2016 Elise had a volleyball match in Black Hills, North Dakota a short 4 hour drive from Andrew. Following that match, they made it official.

April 2021, Andrew and Elise had recently added their youngest yellow lab, Quigley, to their family. Elise had just gotten home from town (went for a spray tan, which Andrew was unaware of). She noticed the house was a little bit cleaner than usual, dinner was going and some of their favorite music was playing. Quigley ran to greet Elise, shortly followed by Andrew who had mentioned he make Quigley a new collar. It was a hand tooled leather collar that happened to have a little something special hanging from it. Before Elise could even comment on the collar, she turned around and there Andrew was on one knee. Needless to say, Andrew still owes Elise a new spray tan from all the crying she did that night.
