FINALLY!

It was Valentines Day 2016. Nope no date or sappy love song was involved, just a really awkward hello. Josh and Danielle were both volunteering for Church in the Park where mutual friends, Amanda and Megan introduced them. It wasn't until months after the awkward hello that their friendship grew, all thanks to a SnapChat friend request. While Josh was in Alaska helping his uncle build a house, he and Danielle would randomly chat about life, the perfect chip to cookie ratio for chocolate chip cookies and Danielle's very realistic need for a pet otter. Once Josh returned from Alaska, Danielle and him started to hang out just as FRIENDS. For a year and a half Josh fought to get out of the friend zone and finally after a mutual friend had told Danielle how great it would be if they dated, Josh took her on their first date.

In early June 2018 Josh planned a day trip for him and Danielle to go up to Lake Alpine to go fishing. Josh was super quiet most of the morning, Danielle thought it was because he didn't catch a single fish. The day carried on and for those of you who know Josh, you know he hates taking pictures. He had set up his GoPro and asked to take some pictures, which was strange to Danielle but of course she agreed she loves pictures! Danielle thought they were finished taking pictures and turned to walk away. As she was walking away Josh asked her to turn around and when she did, Josh was down on one knee. Right there while they were fishing he asked Danielle if she would spend forever with him and the rest is history.
