Kalenna vividly remembers meeting Trent on her first day at FIS. Their coworker (and Bridesmaid) Kimberly introduced them; Trent was picked to train Kalenna and show her the ropes. Kalenna thought he was cute but quickly decided to push that from her mind because he was her coworker, and she assumed it was just excitement from moving to a new city and starting a new job. From there, a friendship blossomed between them as several of their coworkers had also just moved to Milwaukee, so they would all go out downtown and attend events together. It wasn't until one night when they went out with some coworkers, a year and a half later, that they started to realize they had feelings for each other (thank you, Tequila). Keeping their friendship and working relationship a priority, they proceeded cautiously. They quickly began spending more time together, cooking dinner for each other several times a week and secretly dating. Trent finally decided he had invested enough emotionally & financially to consider her his girlfriend. Not long after, they came clean to their coworkers and decided to move in together in June 2018. It was a big decision but something that felt so right, and a few months later, they adopted their first fur baby together, Pisa! Trent made it a point to let Kal's family know how committed he was by sharing this news, emphasizing that a pet is a lifelong commitment :) The following 3 years took them on a rollercoaster that only brought them closer, and they bought their first home together in 2021. In 2022, they brought home their 2nd furbaby, Enzo, who helped Trent propose that November. While their love & friendship has been a journey, it is only the beginning, and they can't wait to take on the remainder of this life together!
