We first met through mutual friends at college around Fall of 2016, but it wasn’t until Mackenzie asked Nick to sit by her in their first class together in Fall of 2018 for their relationship to really start! Soon we were spending time together daily and also stayed in touch every day while Mackenzie studied abroad for a semester. Nick stayed in our college town for another year after graduation in Spring of 2020 to pursue his job while Mackenzie worked and stayed with her dad in Minneapolis. We took the first big step and moved in together in Minneapolis the following year in 2021. Since then we have adopted two cats and a dog, got engaged in July of 2024, and bought a house together! In our downtime, we like to see friends, spend time on our hobbies together, watch TV/movies, and travel. We also spend time working on our home-project list (and practice bickering like an old married couple, of course!). The story from here will be filled with making memories with our family, friends, and pets in our new home and growing together in life.
