Our story starts long before we ever met. We were just kids running the beach on Camano Island, swimming, catching crab, boating, and water skiing with our families, completely unaware our future partner for life was just 5 miles down the island building a homemade sailboat from driftwood (M) and painting pretty rocks (E). Nothing has changed. Years later we unknowingly crossed paths yet again at the 2008 WESCO North prelim high school track meet where we both ran the 400 meter dash (Fact! Look it up on Athletic.net). Finally, in the late fall of 2021 we matched on a dating app, met up at Independent Beer Bar in Everett and went to a Warren Miller ski movie. E brought homemade chocolate chip cookies in her purse to snack on during the movie (she had a gut feeling this guy was worthy of first date baked goods). Our deep love of the ocean, staying active, adventure and travel immediately bonded us and we quickly fell in love and booked our first of many trips together. The cliché firefighter/nurse combination holds true.
We are so incredibly grateful for the love, laughter and support each and every one of you has given us. It has truly made us who we are today. You are all of our favorite people and we are so stoked to share this special day with you. Thank you for the role you've played in our lives as individuals and in the future as a married couple.
