We met in Bismarck, ND back in October of 2018 & instantly connected with our similar interests. Although life’s course took us on different paths the following year, we reconnected again in 2019 continuing to talk via calls and video chat until it was a daily occurrence. Braxton was living in Seattle at the time & I was out in the Cincinnati area so I had flown to visit a couple of times and quickly fell in love with the excitement and beauty of Washington state. We decided that we didn’t like to say "goodbye" anymore and felt ready to take the next step, so I went on my 3-day trek from OH to WA just before celebrating my 21st birthday. We love to spend our time together watching our favorite movies, tv shows, cooking dinner, & enjoying the outdoors on a nature walk, hike, or picnic. We would consider ourselves pretty simple “homebodies” but always enjoy new adventures together & look forward to the ones in our near future. In the last two years, we have found ourselves back in Bismarck (where we originally met) to be closer to our families for some time & to finish schooling. We are both so thankful for what God has brought us through & all that He has done in our journey of reaching this point in our lives together - and even more excited to see what He has in store for our future together as life partners.
