Fun Facts
First Date Details
Dinner at Lake Effect in Downtown Salt Lake
After a lovely dinner, we cruised through the busy streets of downtown SLC on scooters. Later, we joined a group of friends and headed to the club, where the night became unforgettable. We danced the night away with laughter and loud music. The next morning, he texted me asking if I’d go on a second date, and it made me feel all giddy, my heart racing with excitement.
Proposal
La Caille Winery
In the heart of a picturesque winery in Utah, the place where our story began, he took my hand and led me to a quiet spot on the property. The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of pink and gold. He dropped to one knee as we were enclosed by a circle of flowers and candles and asked me to marry him. It felt like a scene from a fairytale, the beginning of a new chapter in the most beautiful place.
Favorite Trip Together
Southern Utah National Parks Road Trip
We visited Zion National Park and hiked Angels Landing, surrounded by the stunning beauty of nature. We stayed in the coziest little cabins, spending the evening by the campfire, making s’mores and sharing quiet moments. The next morning, we drove to Bryce Canyon, where we hiked through the breathtaking landscapes that made it feel like we were on mars.
Favorite Songs
Mac Miller and Jack Johnson
"The Spins" by Mac Miller is our anthem—it’s the soundtrack to our drives with the windows down, singing along at the top of our lungs, completely lost in each other and the moment. "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson is our perfect weekend morning song, setting the tone as we make breakfast together, usually consisting of our favorite egg burritos.
Hobbies Together
Enjoying each other’s company
We love the thrill of snowboarding, the calmness of paddleboarding, cozy nights wrapped up in blankets binge-watching Netflix, and getting lost in the mysteries of Joe Kenda’s murder investigations together.

Special Memory
Getting Arlo
We headed to West Elm with one mission: side tables for the sofa. But somehow, we returned home with a tiny brown puppy instead. No side tables, but a whole lot of cuteness! At first, Sparkie wasn’t too thrilled, but now they’re inseparable.

Favorite Thing
about Devin
I deeply admire Devin’s drive and his ability to achieve anything he sets his mind to. He’s truly an amazing man who supports me in every endeavor, always encouraging me to be the best version of myself. What I admire most about him, though, is his unwavering integrity and kindness. He’s someone who treats everyone with genuine respect. His intelligence, patience, and calm demeanor make him a natural problem-solver, and I find myself constantly inspired by his strength and resilience. Devin is the kind of man who not only believes in me but also in the power of love, loyalty, and hard work. I feel incredibly lucky to have him in my life. <3 <3 <3
