We met in February 2020 at a game night through mutual friends (thanks Brandon & Marissa!). Although we both attended Augustana University, our paths didn't cross during our time in college. Our first date happened 48 hours later and conversation flowed easily as we found several common interests and values. During our first year of dating, we survived a pandemic, multiple quarantines, Nevin passing his occupational therapy exam and too many FaceTime dates to count. Nevin popped the question on June 25, 2021 on the beach at Bad Medicine Lake. It was the most beautiful day, and we've been planning our forever ever since. A few weeks later in mid-July, we purchased a house in Sioux Falls and have kept busy with many home projects to make the house feel like home. We can't wait to spend forever together and are so thankful that God caused our paths to cross. We believe our family and friends have shaped us into the people we are today and look forward to celebrating with you all in March!
