Our Story

Josh and I met at The City Grill. We both have passion in the art for Culinary. Josh has a degree in Culinary Arts. Chef at various Country Clubs. Executive Chef for City Grill. Also, the General Manager. Let's just say I don't cook much in the kitchen. I went to school for Interior Design in La Crosse. I leave the cooking to him, he leaves the decorating to me ;). We both have a passion for music. We both love Travel. I have passion in running long distances. As does Josh. We did the Bull Falls 5 k this past spring. Snowboarding. Where some of our first dates have been. On the slopes. For Christmas I bought us a vacation to Indian Head in Michigan. Our great friends Justin and Niki joined us. Hey Niki, I'm from Wisconsin ;). We also have found our love with Kayaking. We did our first Kayak Pub Crawl this summer. Josh flipped his kayak...twice. I have a daughter named Stella. Josh has two sons named Paxston and Pyaywaysay. We both have been in serious of unfortunate events. Our little family helps us grow everyday. Josh proposed to me on Valentine's Day. He picked Stella up from school and asked her if he could marry her Mama. If he could be her Daddy. Stella's father passed away last summer. Pyawaysay's mother passed away around the same age of Stella. The moment was very emotional and still is with the proposal today. We feel blessed to come into each others life. We strive in love. We laugh unconditionally. Our Honeymoon we plan to travel threw Europe. I was hoping more so South America. With lots of research. Way to dangerous. First our spontaneous souls wanted to Elope in Hawaii. Natural Disasters seem not to promising and the expense. Then my spontaneous mind thought of San Francisco. Even more expensive and family was not having it. WE finally found our destination. We're getting married in Merrill. Our barn wedding as we first envisioned. We are so very excited for you all to join us on our special day.
