This love story all started in the winter of 2010. Levi was studying at ISU and I was living at home going to dental hygiene school. Levi was neighbors with some of my best childhood friends and I would go down to Bloomington/Normal frequently to hang out with them. After meeting a few times, Levi worked up the courage to ask my friend for my number. We talked a few times on the phone and then he finally asked me on a proper date. For our first date, we took the train to Millennium Park in downtown Chicago to go ice skating under the Christmas lights. We haven't been ice skating since, but we have been through many growing experiences including moving to Chicago, surviving a long distance relationship and renovating our home in Portland. We have grown a lot together over these past 7 years, and we are excited for all of the adventures and love to come!
