Michael and I met our freshman year of high school (forever high school sweethearts). I added Michael on Facebook and Michael slid into my DMs. From that point on the rest was history. Our journey has had many highs and many lows. We have supported each other through high school, college, grad school, jobs, and life. However, no matter the obstacle, we have overcome them together always as a united front. We have traveled the world together doing some of our favorite things - skydiving, Rocky Mountain climbing, hot air ballon riding, hiking, snorkeling, and so so much more! We live on a small acreage just outside of Decorah, IA with the best dog ever, Chesnee. We have learned so much from one another over the past 12 years. We have become each other’s biggest supporters. We have both found the person that truly makes saying goodbye so darn hard, and wow is the amazing! Finally, after spending over a decade together watching our love bloom into something absolutely amazing, we officially get to promise forever to each other. High school Michael and Rachel would be in awe of where we are today. Cheers to forever!
