Adventure Awaits

We tell folks we met at church, but here’s the real story: Clayton invited Helen over for a homemade meal, but when she arrived, the only thing in the fridge were condiments. Clearly, we were off to a stellar start. What started as a questionable dinner choice turned into something beautiful. From life in the great outdoors to surviving multiple army missions, we've learned a lot—like how to trust, love, and stand by each other (even when the fridge only has ketchup). Through all the stumbles, lots of dog licks, one terrifying snake bite, and countless adventures, we’re more than ready to keep this wild ride going—together, hand in hand.

We kind of skipped the whole “traditional proposal” thing. After a million times of him asking, “Do you want TRICARE health insurance?” in the CVS parking lot (super romantic, right?), we figured it was finally time to make it official. Nothing says true love like health benefits!
