Me and Nathan matched on a dating app called Hinge. We FaceTimed and called before meeting up at the Wilson Park in Fayetteville in May 2024, a few days before my 26th birthday!

This picture was taken when I visited Nathan for the first time in San Marcos, TX!

My first picture I took of Nathan at a brewery in TX a couple of months after we met. This day he said "We're going to get married, aren't we?"

Still FaceTiming, dating long-distance before Nathan moved to Arkansas

October 2024, Nathan was visiting Arkansas for a few weeks and working remotely. I was working at a vegetable farm in Fayetteville. With the help of Nathan's dad we started building a shed to help with storage space when Nathan moved all of his things from Texas.

Our first Halloween in Eureka, taken in our in-progress shed before we went to the film festival downtown!

Spending some time in downtown Eureka!

A Razorback game with my family! Nathan did not have a red shirt lol.

On Nathan's last night in San Marcos he wanted to buy a few lottery tickets! Feeling lucky!

December! Nathan moved to Arkansas! One of many outdoor breakfasts enjoyed on the land. At this point we were cooking on a butane camp stove in the school bus and eating at our picnic table outside.

We chopped down a thin tree for a clothes rod!

A lot of exploring our 20 acres

"Nathan's first Arkansas snow"

A trip to visit my family!

It was too cold in the bus so in winter 2025 we lived with my mom in Fayetteville

Best friends

One of Nathan's first tangible acts of love for me -- he built a catio! MY cats were indoors only so I was hoping the catio space would get them used to the outdoors and it did!

Another snow day

Going to Colorado to visit Nathan's family

Uhaul to finish moving me to Eureka, it was all a process and such a tiny, tiny bus

Pounding posts for our goat pen

Spring 2025 the concrete for our house/barn was laid and we were living in the bus full time! We built a pen for my goats and moved them over too!

Framing went up! Our original plan for the barn was to house our goats and act as a shop and storage building. When we realized how huge it was we decided to build a 650 square foot house with a loft inside for us! Bye bye bus!

Our first goat babies with their mom, Peggy!
