We went to high school together at North St. Paul High, but never actually met during that time! (Jordan says he does remember Anna, though, as "the hockey girl with a big ponytail") We connected online in early winter of 2021. We went on half a dozen dates within a few weeks before Anna left for a 2-week solo trip to Italy for her 30th birthday! Luckily, we chatted everyday and the excitement grew to see each other again when Anna returned home. We quickly felt a spark and began spending more and more time together. Jordan passed his first big test of traveling up to Grand Marais, one of Anna's favorite places in the world and keeping up with her on his first snowshoeing adventure. In March, we went to Mexico together, and it was on that trip that we both realized we were falling in love. So began our crazy love story full of adventures, new experiences, navigating hardships and non-stop dreaming of what lies ahead for us! We took some epic road trips to Montana, Washington and Colorado. We moved to Duluth and lived on the shores of Lake Superior for a year and then moved back to the twin cities. We traveled to Costa Rica for Anna's Birthday in 2023 and traveled up north to Grand Marais every few months to soak in the beauty and peace of the Northwoods together. In fact, it was in Grand Marais in the fall of 2024 that we took the leap together and decided to get married! In December 2024 we also put an offer in on our first house and moved into our new home in early January 2025! While it has been a whirlwind of big changes, we are so excited for all that lies ahead for us and are so grateful that we found each other. We can't wait to be celebrating our commitment with our closest family and friends in May 2025!
