Our story began in 2013 while both Dustin and I attended the University of Minnesota Duluth. Although we had been near each other for most of our time in school, living on the same apartment floor Sophomore year and informally meeting Junior year, we officially crossed paths our Senior year thanks to the merging of friend groups. By that New Year we became quite inseparable. Little did I know that Dustin took a Psychology class to spend more time with me. Stalkerish or Sweet? I decided sweet, and throughout the remainder of our final semester we went to dinner’s, movie’s, and many other wonderful dates. Also, at this time I was training for a half marathon and Dustin took it upon himself to design a training program and train with me almost every day, setting the stage for a life-long bond of healthy living. After both moving to the Twin Cities following graduation we continued to date, explore the city, and become even closer. In 2016 Dustin got accepted to physical therapy school at Franklin Pierce University in Goodyear, AZ. Asking me to come with and me of course accepting, the two of us made the 26-hour journey to AZ in two 200,000+ mile Toyota’s. The fact that we made it there safely is even more proof that this next step was meant to be… especially since Dustin’s car broke down the day after we arrived. In March 2017, Dustin surprised me with a dream proposal at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego, CA (with no sunset in sight by the way). Now 2 years later on the same weekend of our engagement we cannot wait to say “I Do” with our closest friends and family and start the next chapter in this story.
