As you all know, I’m from Texas and Ryan is from Missouri. We didn’t want to decide between our families so we eloped at the Olympic National Park. We were able to have a few family and friends join us but we also want to celebrate with the rest of our loved ones! Please join us in celebrating our marriage at either, or both, receptions to follow.

We aren’t the typical love story. We can’t say since the moment we met we fell in love but what we can say is God has orchestrated it all. Our first official time to hang out, outside of church, was rock climbing with a few friends. Ever since we've been adventuring together, we have tried new things, taken new trips, met new people, and learned so much. Whether it's a party with friends, camping, hiking, road tripping, serving at our church, or even just ordinary, everyday life things, we haven't stopped enjoying the ride. No matter what we have been through, good or bad, some important things have stayed constant: we love God, we love each other, and in both of those areas, no matter what, we don’t give up.
