We met in July 2020 in the middle of a global pandemic, and what started as a first date turned into a 24 hour adventure. Since that day we've rarely left each other’s side. Our relationship grew more and more everyday, meeting family and friends. In 2021 our family grew with a crazy German Shepherd puppy we named Kiwi (named after our first date at Kangaroo and Kiwi). We have an intense connection where just by looking at each other we know what is happening or what the other is thinking. In December 2023 we found out Carol was pregnant and after the initial surprise wore off we couldn't be happier to start down our lifelong journey together. Russell proposed shortly thereafter and we got married in March 2024 with a small intimate ceremony, deciding to have a big celebration with friends and family later on. So here we are...planning an amazing night where we will be celebrating our love, the life and family we are building together and we can not wait to share it with you. We hope to see you all soon at Whidbey Island in August 2025 to celebrate our marriage and the first birthday of our daughter Olivia Giske. We love you all, The Giske Family
