WE MEET 11.18.2017 We met at "The U", a young adult ministry event at our church. WE FALL IN LOVE 8.2.2018 Over the next 10 months we slowly became better friends. In August 2018, we both attended our church's mission trip to Gwo Cheval, Haiti. We had the chance to serve God right next to each other all week while helping build a new school building. And on that trip we fell in love. WE START DATING 8.18.2018 Eight days after landing back in America after the mission trip, we had been downtown Milwaukee with friends. Eventually we decided to walk around the city for awhile before daring each other to jump off the end of the Marina pier. Waiting for an Uber ride to go home with cold, soaking clothes, Jackson leaned in for a kiss. Sitting outside all night talking led us to decide by about 5:30AM that we should start dating, and that we should each go home and take a nap before church. HE PROPOSES… AND SHE SAYS YES 11.16.2018 We planned an East Coast adventure road trip leading up to Thanksgiving to spend time with Jackson's family for the holidays. On the second day of the vacation, we were hiking the Appalachian Trail to see the view from McAfee's Knob in Virginia. It was a perfectly sunny, warm day, but the winter storm the night before left every inch of every tree covered in ice crystals. It was magical! At the top, I was posing for photos by the overlook. When Jackson came to join me, I turned around and was met with a ring! I gasped. I asked if he was joking. And when I finally realized that he also wanted to spend this entire journey of life together, there were no words good enough. He technically never popped the question and I technically never said the word “yes,” but obviously the message was understood! WE MARRY 5.18.2019 To many years ahead!
