On October 14th, 2017, Thomas and I met in Mankato through some mutual friends. After talking for hours on end, we decided to see each other again the next day. And the day after that. From there, we were pretty much inseparable. After I graduated college in May of 2018, I moved in with Thomas and in July, we got our first apartment together in St. Paul! Hitting so many major milestones together did nothing but strengthen our relationship and allow us to grow as a couple. In March of 2019, we hit a new milestone and took our first trip outside of Minnesota. Traveling is something I have always been passionate about, so I was excited to share that experience together. During our first day in the Pacific Northwest, we stopped at Multnomah Falls-- a popular tourist destination just outside of Portland. As we were looking up at the 620' falls, Thomas got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. The rest, as they say, is history! We could not be more excited to celebrate the next step in our journey with each of you, who have played (and will continue to play) such an important part in our adventure!
