Having both just moved to Ellensburg to attend Central Washington University in 2014, we met while working at a little restaurant in town. We immediately became very good friends; sharing laughs, stories and smiles on shift. We still joke about how we both used to scan the schedule to see if we were working together, and get so happy when we were! A few years down the road and we were lucky enough to get the timing right. Anyone who knows our story and was there to witness our friendship grow into a relationship knows that our souls were meant to be together, forever.

Simple, sweet and sincere. Ben proposed at our home the evening of November 26, 2020. We had just made it home after spending a couple days with my family for Thanksgiving. He had been prepared to propose for about a week, just waiting for the right moment to surface! I have never been so caught off guard, yet so overcome with love and joy.
