It first began in June of 2015 when Kaylee spotted Nate from a far at Country Fest. She approached him, introduced herself, and they quickly hit it off. As they were walking back from the bathrooms, staff at country fest stopped them and offered pit passes to Tim McGraw that night which they accepted with ease. That night they enjoyed living in the moment while singing and dancing together to one of their favorite country artists.. For the next 10 years they would run into one another while doing some of their favorite things such as going to country festivals/concerts, being on the river, and out with friends downtown La Crosse. They always enjoyed each other’s presence. Country boom 2023 is where their romance officially began and they have been inseparable since. 2023 highlights- Trip to Nashville with friends, first holiday’s spent with each other and one another’s families, Kaylee’s first time dancing around the Christmas tree with the Nedegaard’s, and Nate’s joy of being forced to go to Vikings games began ;) 2024 highlights- Trip to Cancun for a wedding, family vacations, river days, country & rock concerts, football games, added Mia to the family, and best of all got engaged!
