Most all of you know how Kory and I met, but for those of you who don't here is a brief history. It was my freshman year at Montana State University in 2016 when I met Tawnie who is still my best friend to this day. Shortly into our first semester we became acquainted with Bridger Hurley who is now married to Tawnie. Well, as I now know where there is Bridger there are his friends Nate and Kory. Because of this it didn't take long for us to meet. The first time that Kory met me he said that he fell in love... maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. But it took me a little longer. After about two months I finally agreed to go on a date with Kory where he took me to Ted's restaurant in Bozeman, MT. We started dating a few months later and since then we have had endless adventures and countless memories. Over the last seven years Kory and I have traveled across the western states including California, Arizona, Colorado, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, and obviously Montana. Through these travels not only have we had so many amazing memories but we have found our home in the very north east corner of Montana. It is here where we have our home and a myriad of amazing friends and family. Last year I put a little pressure on Kory to ask me to marry him, he said that it was an ultimatum but I digress. On New Years Kory went to Billings MT and bought me a ring. Shortly after that my first niece Piper Zupan was born and we made the long drive to California to see her for the first time. After a stressful snowy drive over Donner Pass Kory told me that he needed me to drive for a while and took the first exit he could find. When we met at the back of the car Kory was down on one knee with the most beautiful ring I have ever seen, and he asked me to marry him. I didn't hesitate this time and said yes! Since that day we have been trying to figure out what we would want for a wedding so we appreciate all of you for being patient with us and we can't wait to see you on May 24th 2024!
