We met at an indoor football game here in Rapid City. We hit it off instantly and ended up rekindling one more time before we finally exchanged numbers at the beginning of summer, 2021. Our first time hanging out we went up to Sheridan Lake and discovered our favorite little spot to swim, and within a few hours we were already convinced we should just go elope. We didn't, obviously but we have been madly in love from the start and it has only gotten better and better. We spent that whole summer swimming in rivers, camping, and hiking all over the black hills! We have been inseparable ever since. We got engaged Dec, 17th 2023 and have been over-the-moon excited to be planning our future and appreciate all of the support and love we have recieved!
