We first met in 7th grade — just two kids with no idea we were meeting our forever. Although we didn’t start dating until sophomore year of high school, our connection had already begun to grow. Through changing schools, football and soccer games, late nights studying, and cheering each other on from the sidelines, we built a foundation of friendship, support, and love. No matter what season of life we were in, we chose each other every time. After high school, we continued our journey side by side — attending the same college, starting our careers, and building a home together. Along the way, we added our chocolate and yellow lab to the family, collected a few more cows and tractors, and created a life that feels truly ours. From middle school hallways to sharing a home, our story has always been about growing together. And as we begin this next chapter, we look forward to continuing to choose each other — today, tomorrow, and for all the years to come.
