We met at the end of our sophomore year of high school then spent almost everyday that summer together (sorry parents 😉). We started dating after junior year homecoming and have been together ever since! Going on 10 years this September.

In May 2025 we went back to La Crosse (our college town) to spend the weekend with some friends. That Saturday morning we went on one of our favorite hikes in Grandads Bluff, AJ popped the question at the look out over the city. We spent the afternoon celebrating at a local winery and had dinner at our favorite steakhouse!
