If it wasn’t for Mrs. Bonen sitting us next to each other in 11th grade biology we may never have crossed paths! I’m not sure why, but i guess sharing notes and cheating off each others tests really can bring two people together forever! Nicole and I really put our connection to the test when we both moved to AZ and went to college at GCU. No, we didn't follow each other there! But as time went on and we continued to experience life together, we began to connect so deeply that it truly felt like fate. Once college was over, we decided to head back home to MN and move into a little apartment in Northeast Minneapolis. There, we learned to navigate the rollercoaster that is living together. We made mistakes and made up for them, learning so much about each other in the process. Roughly a year later i built up enough courage to ask her to marry me, and of course she said yes! We are now happily engaged living in our newly remodeled home with our dog son Scout, eagerly awaiting our wedding day on October 2nd.
