Our love story began in April of 2019. We got set up on a blind date, met for dinner and talked for hours. That first date, and every date after, we kept learning more and more about each other and all the things we have in common. Through our first few dates, I knew Brandon had everything I've always prayed for... and more. He is thoughtful, kind, funny, strong, handsome, confident and most importantly has a deep relationship with the Lord. Oh yeah- and he is an Ironman!! I quickly learned that doing life with Brandon is SO fun! We are so excited to be spending the rest of our lives together and can hardly wait to get married!

Our proposal was absolutely perfect and a complete surprise! We went for a trail run at Lebanon Hills the morning after Christmas and the trail we were on led to a pavilion. We had gone running and even skied past this same pavilion a lot, so I didn't suspect a thing. Once we got closer to the pavilion, there was a fire going, hot cocoa and blankets set out- which is when I knew something was happening! Brandon read his beautifully written letter, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said...YES!! My sister Kelsey, my best friend Hanna and Brandon’s brother Ryan were hiding behind trees taking pictures and videos. It was the most special day I’ve ever experienced. The amount of planning and thought that went into it was unbelievable and Brandon pulled off the best surprise a girl could ask for. We are beyond excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with all of you!
