I'll spend my life appreciating & thanking the Lord that she continues to say yes to me & to us.

The biggest smile I ever did see. The live photo portrays it perfectly, seeing Mary laugh is truly breathtaking to me & something to behold & cherish forever.

I had absolute no idea what I was doing when I searched for the perfect ring. I relied on the Lord. He sent me Saint Joseph to help (Josephs Jewelers) & guided me toward this simple, elegant ring.

With her in my arms, hand in my hand, life is simple & joyful.

When you know, you know. (Turns out that common saying is for real.)

Two smiles with candles & flowers is such a simple treasure.

Our first photo together. I will never forget this day. Love you, Mary

Shortly after I told Mary I loved her in Saint Benedict, Kansas - fittingly at Saint Mary's Church!

Such a wonderful Saturday at Christ Our Life Conference 2024.

Our first family wedding: (Here's to John & Julia)! What an incredible weekend for so many reasons. Feel free to ask me sometime, there's a fun story that goes with this weekend!

As our love grew, Mary drove me all the way over into Nebraska to dip my bike in before I did a week trek across Iowa to complete RAGBRAI biking Iowa from end to end.

Ice skating! She didn't stop smiling the entire time, especially as I slipped all over the place. Such a great workout trying not to fall.

Benedictine & Butker.

A truly unbelievable experience having such a beautiful Christmas with this amazing woman! (A little Easter Egg: this photo took place where we crossed paths for the first time: Saint Augustin!)

I ran, she cheered. I look forward to her support throughout my life. But we plan to run toward Him together.

A little impromptu, surprise Pumpkin Patch visit en route to a wonderful couples shower for Michael & Sarah (our Matron of honor!)

What a great day at the State Fair! Who knew walking around & grazing could be so much fun? Who knew crab fritters were so delicious?!?

(I'm leaving this one without words.)

We love doing puzzles together. Mary loves blankets. Just doing puzzles in blankets, y'all!
