we're getting married

We met in 2021 through Ella's cousin, Easton, who was Tyler's freshman-year roommate at Dordt. Their first hangout was...pretty quiet -- Ella didn't say much at all. However, Tyler was persistent and eventually Ella warmed up to him. That fall (after Tri-State ;)), Tyler made it official and the rest is history. We both came into each other's lives when we needed it most, and we're so thankful for God's timing and good plans. (photo is from first date)
