How We Met

First comes school, then comes marriage. 2010

We initially met while attending school together at South High School in Fargo, North Dakota. I was a future Davies Eagle and he was a South High Bruin... Yikes! We didn't connect much during our time in high school together, but eventually reconnected through Facebook while I was attending college at North Dakota State University - GO BISON! I decided to take a leap of faith and asked for his number. For some weird reason, he complied and the rest is pretty much history! We had an instant connection and conversation came easily, so naturally, we fell very hard and fast!

The Proposal

02.27.2018

My parents, myself, and Nolan were visiting my brother, Jesse, in Hawaii when Nolan asked me to spend forever with him. In preparation for our big trip, my brother had asked me what type of hike we would like to go on during our stay. I of course opted into the hike that included a huge waterfall at the end. This is where it gets funny... I may or may not have a slight fear of heights and definitely underestimated the amount of sketchy, but beautiful, hiking headed my way. Nolan and my brother did a great job of talking me through the entire situation, but there was definitely a time where I thought I might be stuck in a jungle for the rest of my days. Upon descending the waterfall and gathering our items to head back to the car, Nolan suggested we take one more picture. I thought this was a bit out of the ordinary considering he normally hates taking pictures, but I couldn't pass up getting the most out of the gorgeous backdrop. When I went to wrap my arm around him, I noticed Nolan was bending down so I reached for him. That's when I realized he was down on one knee. I was ecstatic and said "yes, of course" and just like that we were engaged! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
