We met on July 4th, 2015, while boating with friends on the lake. It was one of those summer days full of fun, fireworks, and good company — and little did we know, it was the beginning of a journey that would shape the rest of our lives. The connection was instant, and it didn’t take long to realize this was something special. Over the years, we’ve made countless memories together. From spontaneous trips to cozy nights at home with our dog, River, we’ve shared laughter, love, and a growing sense of home wherever we are. River has been by our side through it all, adding joy and a little extra love to our everyday lives. After 10 years together, we’re more certain than ever that we’ve built something truly special. We’ve learned so much, supported each other through ups and downs, and watched our love grow stronger with each passing year. After years of building our life together, Drew took me to La Crosse, a place that holds so many special memories for us. It’s where Drew went to school and where we shared some of our best moments. On a hike through the Bluffs, with the beautiful scenery around us, Drew asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was a simple, perfect moment, and one we’ll both cherish forever.
