We met and began dating in May of 2020. Starting a relationship in the beginning of the COVID pandemic was both a challenge and a blessing. Over the past 2+ years, we have grown closer and more in love through all parts of our journey. We have made many new friends and said goodbye to ones we've lost, bought a home and moved in together, adopted a cat, supported each other through career changes, and so much more. We are so happy to be engaged and beginning the next big chapter in our lives, and can't wait to have all of our favorite people along for the ride to support us.
