Anna and Michael first met in the summer of 2016 in Iowa. Anna's cousin Tiffany, whom is married to Michael's best friend Alex, had been out visiting Tiffany's family for the summer and had invited Michael to come and visit for a week. One day Tiffany sent Michael a text asking what his relationship status was, he curiously responded "very single". She then sent Michael a picture of Anna and told him that this was her smart and beautiful cousin who was looking for a strapping gentlemen to take her out on the town. As Michael made his way out to Iowa he wondered when and where he would actually get to meet Anna. He knew she was a nurse at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and figured it would be difficult to schedule some time to meet. But one afternoon in Osage, Iowa at Tiffany's sisters house Anna, made the drive down from Rochester. Seeing as how both Anna and Michael can be a little shy when meeting new people, it took a little shove from Tiffany's God-Father to get them chatting. Once the night came to an end Anna went back to Rochester and Michael went with Alex and Tiffany to West Branch, Iowa to Anna's parents. Michael then got news that Anna was coming back down from Rochester. Once they had met a relationship formed quickly. In the next few months Anna came to visit Arizona where Michael showed her some of the beautiful sights AZ has to offer and Michael made a couple more visits to Minnesota and Iowa where we enjoyed concerts, good food, and some family time. Little did we know the scary but amazing life change that awaited us..... We soon found out we were going to be welcoming a beautiful child. Upon getting the news Michael moved to Rochester to be with Anna.
