We’re getting married!

I love our story. Ryan and I were able to be great friends first! It’s difficult to trace back to an exact date, but Ryan and I have known each other roughly since 2007. From that moment, we had the privilege of growing up together! Both of us also went to the same school - Heartland Christian, and we went to the same church. We spent lots of time together, and I am so thankful for the foundation of friendship we had from the start. I always considered Ryan a great friend until he began to pick up a guitar. Then he became the most dreamy boy I had ever laid eyes on! During the summer of 2015, Ryan and I were leaders at Camp of the Good Shepherd together. It was at this time that I believe I really began to fall in love with Ryan. It didn't matter that we were only 15 years old, but no one had ever made me laugh as much as Ryan did! After the camp season ended, Ryan asked me out. Ryan then met with my dad to see if dating was possible. From that moment on, Ryan and I went through our high school careers of classes, sports, dances, church activities, etc. During these past 6 years of dating, we have learned that life is better together than separate. We have gone through ups-and-downs, even through the trial of a long distance relationship while involved with YWAM. Each experience has made us a stronger couple all the way to the decision to spend the rest of our lives together! I love Ryan so much, he’s my best friend, and I am thrilled to become his wife! Ryan and I cannot wait to celebrate with our loved family and friends! Cheers to our next adventure!
