It all started with a simple, unexpected moment. We met at a bar in downtown Rapid City, SD on July 7th 2022. I wanted to go out with my friends after I got off work. Little did I know that my future husband and the love of my life was at that same bar with his friends after getting done with an assignment fighting a fire. Not long after that we officially met we knew that we were meant for each other and on July 25th, 2022 we offically started dating which was one of the best days of my life (the second being October 14th, 2023 when we got engaged) Carsten asked me to be his girlfriend and of course I said yes. Meeting him was the best thing that could have happened to me. From that night on, our journey together has been filled with joy, love, and shared adventures. Every day, we're reminded of how serendipitous it was that we took the first step and how, sometimes, a single moment can change everything. And now, here we are, three years later getting ready to spend the rest of our lives together!
