Our love story began in August 2020 when we were introduced by a mutual friend. After meeting a few times, we officially started dating on October 8, 2020, just two days before Nick’s 18th birthday. For our first date, we took a drive to In-N-Out in Keizer. Since the restaurant was closed due to Covid, we hung out in the car, listened to music, and enjoyed each other's company. Despite the challenges of our senior year during the pandemic, we made the most of our time together, creating memories and getting to know each other. We went on to attend college together, where Nick was my biggest supporter through three seasons of college volleyball, and I, in turn, was his biggest fan during his three years of coaching. We've shared unforgettable family vacations and incredible experiences along the way. On June 26, 2024, we got engaged in Cashiers, North Carolina. Though we've spent our entire engagement long distance, it only made us stronger. We’re beyond excited to get married and start this next chapter of our lives, and we’re so grateful to everyone reading this for being part of our journey!
