We're getting married!

In early October of 2017, we met through one of our closest shared friends (Breanna) and shared contact information. Ekaterina messaged Austin first and we met in person on December 16th, 2017. We were both shy, awkward kids but we both felt a connection while making each other laugh and smile at the silliest things. On December 24th, 2017, Austin asked Ekaterina to be his girlfriend. Throughout the years, we grew into our own little family where we added chickens, pigs and one (of our two) dogs, Broly into the picture. After returning home from our first "solo vacation" to Arkansas/Tennessee on March 20th, 2022, Austin asked me to marry him (of course, I said yes!) In April of 2024, we moved into our first home and added another furry family member (Roxie Lane.) In July of 2026, Austin and Ekaterina will elope at Jefferson County Courthouse, Jefferson, WI.
