We met through a college ministry in Omaha, but it wasn’t until late spring 2024 that our story really began. Elizabeth had just returned to Minnesota after graduating from Creighton, while Brennen was preparing for a mission trip to Albania. Despite the distance and the timing, there was an undeniable spark between us. Before Brennen left, he told Elizabeth that he’d give her a ring (on the phone of course) as soon as he returned. True to his word, Brennen called, and that conversation set the stage for what came next: a long weekend together in Omaha three weeks later. Those four days were filled with laughter, great food, and countless conversations about life and the future. By the end of the third day, Brennen asked Elizabeth to be his girlfriend. From that point on, we didn’t let distance stand in our way. We took turns visiting each other, went on weekend adventures, met each other’s families, and celebrated holidays together. With each trip, each shared moment, our bond grew stronger. Then, on a chilly Friday night in December, Brennen took a leap. With a confident smile and his heart beating like a drum, he got down on one knee and asked the question that would change everything. Without hesitation, Elizabeth said yes. woot woot :) Our journey so far has been an incredible adventure, and we’re beyond excited for what the Lord has in store for us.
