As most of you know, We have been together for almost 13 years. It started off as exchanging numbers after going to a good old fashion BBQ. Jason was visiting friends that lived in AZ and I was just tagging along with a friend from nursing school to meet people I've never met. Instantly knew when we saw each other there would be a connection. After long distance, late night phone talks, and visits; Jason made the riskiest move and moved to AZ while I was starting my nursing career. Since then, as they say, the rest is history. Three states (AZ, CA, now OR) a couple dogs, new jobs, a new house, and a few years later here we are.

Jason proposed on December 2, 2022 at one of our favorite places in Central Oregon called Suttle Lake. Since moving to Oregon 5 years ago and discovering this beautiful lake, we have spent every summer camping and swimming with the boys. On this day, we decided to see it in the winter, after a snow storm recently came through. It was a gorgeous Sunny day and after admiring the lake, Jason got on one knee much to my surprise. We have decided we want to celebrate with our closest family and friends who have been there from the beginning and along the way. Celebrate with those who have supported our long journey together. We want to share not only this important moment in our lives, but also want you all to experience our beautiful town of Bend, Oregon.
