In 2022 Kendra had just come home from a trip to Chicago and found a group of boys hanging out at her house. Turns out her family friend, Christian, was having some of his friends over to stay at the cabins. After a good weekend of campfires and fun he was hooked, but she didn’t think much of it. After a few months Noah added her on Snapchat and they started talking here and there. A month later Kendra was sitting in her anatomy class on Snapchat on her computer and Christian texted her. Nervous, she opened it and read “Noah wants to know if you’d hang out with him” to which she replied “Only if he asks me himself” then she got a text from Noah. They hung out one day after church eating pizza and watching a movie, then her dad came home and decided it was a good idea to clean guns that day, 🤦🏼♀️ dad’s right? On October 29th, after a month or two of Noah coming down to watch Kendra play volleyball and texting each other on Snapchat; Kendra and her friends went to Bismarck to go to the Haunted Fort, but first they went to Culver’s. After getting their food their friends not so subtly left the car going inside to use the bathroom, leaving Noah the perfect opportunity to ask her out. After a few stutters he finally said “will you be my girlfriend” she replied “yes”. Later after the Haunted Fort was over their friends, again not so subtly, left them alone in the car and after at least an hour he kissed her. After that they spent the next three years going through life together and serving God in their relationship. The Proposal: In December of 2025 they went ring shopping because Kendra had changed her mind and threw off Noah’s original plan for her ring. After designing a ring they both loved Kendra went to Rome for 4 months. When she returned she was living with Jazlyn and Mallory in a townhouse in Bismarck. One of her first nights in her new house she teased him about not upgrading to fiancé status, he decided then he couldn’t wait til June, when he originally planned to propose. On Sunday, May 3rd, he made calls and plans with her roommates. Mallory told Kendra and Jaz she wanted to go on a walk, which turned into we should take photos for the house while we’re down there. Then Jazlyn said Noah should come with to take pictures of the three of us, so she invited him. Then as they were taking pictures of Kendra, Mallory told her she had to fix her hair so she turned around and when she looked back Noah was on one knee. Now they’re in the midst of wedding planning and so excited to celebrate with their favorite people!
