Our story began with a dating app in June 2015. Our first date turned into a 12-hour adventure and set the tone for everything that followed. A couple of months later, Alicia left for college, and we began four years of long distance filled with weekend visits, road trips, and lots of FaceTime calls. After graduation, we moved back home and spent time navigating post-college life before moving into our first apartment in 2021. That summer we adopted our first cat, Saul, and then Mabel in November. In 2022, we moved to Hudson, WI and brought home our golden retriever, Milo. In April 2023, we bought our first home in Hanover, and a few months later, we got engaged! We've been together for over 10 years, and every chapter of our story has made us even more excited for this next one: getting married!
