We met in early 2019 on a cold, rainy afternoon. Little did Ben know he would be making the drive from Northfield to Columbia Heights very often for the next seven months. It made it easier to see each other when Ben moved back to Minneapolis in September 2019 where we shared in lots of Panda Express and Ben was introduced to the world of YouTube gamers by Lexi. We enjoyed being outside, exploring restaurants, and going to sporting events and concerts in the beginning. Ben has always been a fan of sports and introduced Lexi to the exciting world of soccer, more specifically the Minnesota United soccer club. This is a passion they still both share (although Lexi's loyalty stays with Minnesota United while Ben is also a Real Madrid and Manchester United fan) and often attend Minnesota United games. Come September 2019, we found out we would be adding a little one to our duo, and come March 2020 we found out we'd be locked inside for the foreseeable future. It's during this time that Ben found out Lexi was far too good at Mortal Kombat and Smash Bros, and would often lose... by a lot... painfully. It was also in March of 2020 that we moved in together in Northfield, and Lexi forced Ben to get a bed frame. After a couple months our little girl, Astrid, was born in May of 2020. In March 2021 we moved to Eagan but despite the increased food options, we hated it and moved back to Northfield in January of 2022. As we've become older and Ben's knees hurt more, our interests haven't changed much from the beginning. We still enjoy playing video games together, going on family walks, and experiencing the greatness of Northern Minnesota. It is here in Northfield that we still reside with our ever growing daughter, and where we will be getting married. After four years of dating, we've decided to go the distance and tie the knot and we are all very excited for you to join us!
