We met on June 28, 2015 through a mutual friend at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. We officially started dating on July 8th, 2015. We adopted our first pup Suki (from our wonderful friend Justin!) in July 2016 and we moved in together in November of 2016. Since then we have been to 14 states and traveled from Washington State to Florida to Washington D.C together. We've moved into 3 different homes together, discovered our love of craft beer together, and to top it all off we adopted our second rescue pup, Bear, from the Animal Humane Society in December of 2017.

We got engaged at Gasworks park on a beautiful day while we were on vacation in Seattle. I carried the ring around the entire day (and the entire previous day because I was paranoid about airport security seeing it in our checked bag). I didn't have an exact time or place I wanted to propose. I knew I would recognize the moment when everything was perfect. It happened just before sunset, sitting on a hill at gasworks park overlooking downtown Seattle. We were talking about our future together. It was the perfect time to propose, so I handed Anne a note that I had written earlier, (because I was nervous and knew I wouldn't say everything I wanted to) and by the time she was done I was crying and she was crying and it was absolutely perfect.
