We're Getting Married!

Matt and Anna met on July 4th, 2017 on the sunny shores of Lake Norden. Fireworks flew from the the very beginning. They got to know each other while they spent the next few days vacationing with Ode Clan at their lake cabin. When it came time to leave, they exchanged numbers without definite plans to meet again. It only took two days without each other before they were skipping plans with their friends to meet each other at the Luverne Drive-In Movie Theater. As the night got colder, Anna snuggled in and Matt snuck in for his first kiss. From that point on, Matt and Anna rarely passed a day without seeing each other. Their love quickly grew to something greater than either of them had ever known. They found lots of things they both enjoyed to do together like going to the arcade, hiking, and kitchen dance parties. They also found a few things which realized they are probably better of doing alone like cooking and exercising. Eventually, Matt began to face a difficult truth. He would have to move to continue to pursue urology residency. He knew he could not be happy without Anna so he asked her to go with him, wherever he may end up. Together they explored some of the different cities they could end up and created the rank list together, but their hearts were set on Kansas City. In January, they were delighted with the news that made had matched to the University of Kansas in Kansas City. Before moving, they took some time to explore the world and set out on a three week road trip; car camping out of a Volkswagen Jetta. The highlight of the trip was a hike up Angel's Landing in Zion National Park: a grueling 4 mile hike that requires clinging onto chain rails to stop you from falling off 2000 ft sheer cliffs. The hike was well worth it though, at the very top, Matt convinced Anna to stop to grab a photo for a Christmas card. Instead, he got down on one knee and asked the woman of his dreams to marry him.
