It all started with the question, "Who are you?" at an Idaho ski resort asked by quiet Meggan! She must have really liked the man standing in front of her, and she was blown away with the conversation, laughter, and good looking country boy. Joel's first impression however, was a bit different because that little question above came with a bit of attitude which he wasn't so sure about. Of course he was quickly won over by the cute smile and amazing women that Meggan was, and little did they know how much that one question would change their lives!
A week after Joel and Meggan met, Meggan interviewed for a teaching position in Sturgis, SD which she was offered! Yay! They were thrown into an impending long distance relationship quickly, but Joel backed her up the entire time because he could see how happy she was to get back to SD. Within 5 months she would be moving, and his move was shortly behind her being re-stationed to NEW MEXICO! The saying "distance makes the heart grow fonder" could not be truer, but they are soooo ready to make the distance a couple feet! Meggan recently accepted a middle school math position in Clovis, NM where Joel is stationed, and will be moving shortly after the wedding!
