Our Story

Katy and Aaron met in middle school where they instantly hit it off as friends. They went to different schools but made things official at Arrowhead Park on June 17th, 2013. They spent their first meal together as a couple that night where Aarons mom, Mary served Hamburger Helper and green beans and then they watched Finding Nemo. Other first dates included catching turtles at Beaver Lake, going to the Sioux Falls Zoo, long walks at Legacy Park, and many days at the tennis courts. They both admit that they aren't good at tennis. They went to separate high schools but spent several evenings together doing homework or shooting hoops in the driveway, and many Saturdays together at Eastway Bowl. After high school, Aaron went to Mount Mercy where he pursued his love for bowling, while Katy finished her senior year, then went on to the University of South Dakota. In 2019 their hearts grew fonder when they brought home a 6 week old Chocolate Lab and named him Finley. He is now 5 years old, and the goodest boy. The couple purchased their first home together in 2021...and sold it 8 months later. They now live together in their beautiful house on the west side of Sioux Falls, and are so excited to continue to make it a home as they start the rest of their lives together.
