It is amazing to think about all the things that fell into place for us to meet that day in August 2017. Joel changed shifts, people called in sick, and he was moved to Station 7 that had committed to volunteer event known as National Night Out hosted by Tosha's store, the Valley Target. A special thanks to Breann Scott and George Hedebeck for giving Joel the encouragement to make a move! 2020 might have had its challenges but we had one of the best years. In May, we decided to merge our families and bought a house together! On November 14, 2020, after an incredible 3 years, Joel got down on one knee and proposed in Coeur d'Alene on the dock over looking the water. We're so excited to celebrate with all of our friends and family on September 18, 2021, as we officially become Mr. & Mrs. #GainingaGilrein
