The couple both started working at JimmyOs Pizzeria in 2015, and the summer of 2017 is when the two first went on a date. During the first date, the couple ended up spending 2 hours talking in Kelsey's driveway afterward. Had a great time, but after a few more dates the couple ended up mutually deciding to just be friends as they weren’t in the best position to start a relationship. Connor left for Montana that August to do a year-long Bible degree, and they said goodbye with no hard feelings. After Connor left the two reconnected and shared many moments on FaceTime. As time went on they both started to develop feelings for one another but decided to not make anything official until they were in person which was on November 23, 2017. Connor ended up leaving a few days later to return to school and they started their long-distance relationship. With movie dates synced up on FaceTime and surprise visits the couple made the distance work. They said goodbye to long-distance in April of 2018 when Connor moved back after finishing school. They continued to grow their relationship, and get to know one another more in person. The next fall they both started at their dream college together at Multnomah University; Connor to study Youth Ministry and Kelsey to study Counseling. Living life, and pursuing God together more than ever. Marriage wasn’t a subject that the couple shied away from discussing, and early on they both knew that they wanted to continue down that path together. In May of 2019, the couple had a trip to Australia planned to surprise one of Kelsey’s best friends for her birthday. On this trip, they all ventured out to the Gold Coast for a weekend, and Connor ended up popping the question during a romantic walk on the beach at sunset. The couple is excited to start their journey together, and can’t wait to see where God leads them in life. They are blessed by so many amazing people in their lives and can’t wait to celebrate!
