Our roots are in the Kansas plains. We both headed to Manhattan to graduate from Kansas State and spent some time in other states, but eventually, we both found our way back to northwest Kansas were we fatefully met. We share a deep love for animals and the outdoors. There is never a lack of entertainment, thanks to our three dogs, Boss, Fitz, and Chunk, our cats, Argo and Vinny, and our horses, Stitches and Remi. When we get the chance to step away, you will find us hiking, exploring, and taking time to put new pins in our map of God’s creation. We love working on projects together from planting or painting, helping our family, and heading back to our favorite place on earth, Manhattan (Kansas, that is). Almost exactly two years after we met, we were married in a private ceremony by Pastor Brian Smith of Westview Church in Manhattan. We later celebrated our vows in Tamborine Mountain, Queensland, Australia. It was a trip we had dreamed about since we first met, and we spent two wonderful weeks adventuring and celebrating our love. We have kept this quiet for a while now, and we've been bursting to share our story with you. We are so glad you are here!
