Crazy to think that meeting in Kindergarten at Weaver Lake Elementary would be the beginning of our story. Although we didn't start dating until high school, growing up with each other created the foundation for a lasting relationship. Though Connor had always been more focused on sports than he was on girls, he knew there was something different about Lindsey. Lucky for him, Lindsey made the first move during our Freshman year, and our love story had officially begun. Through a decade of dating and all of the ups and downs on our journey towards forever, we can certainly say we've been through it all.

It takes a lot to surprise Lindsey, but two things that Connor used to his advantage were (1) Lindsey's obsession with Christmas and (2) the ability to change flights last minute during Covid. During an annual Christmas cookie baking day in MN with her mom, Kelli and sister, Lauren, Lindsey was completely caught off guard as Connor showed up a day early from AZ with a very important question. At the house they grew up doing homework in and right in front of the Christmas tree, Connor got down on one knee asking if they could spend their lives together.
