We first met in 2020 through mutual friends and the Shawano County Ag Ambassadors. What started as a casual introduction quickly turned into something special — we ended up talking for hours the very first night we hung out, and from that moment on, a strong connection began to grow.

We quickly became close friends, and before long, that friendship turned into something more. Despite the distance between us — with Adam at UW-River Falls and Hayley finishing high school and starting college at NWTC — we made it work. In fact, we’ve spent a good chunk of our relationship long-distance than actually in the same place!

Just when we thought we’d finally get to be in the same city, Hayley was placed in Marshfield for clinicals. Even with the challenges, we’ve always found ways to stay connected and continue building a life together.

When we do get time together, we love just hanging out with our pups, being outdoors, and sneaking away for a vacation whenever we can. Our first trip together was a weekend in Milwaukee for the PBR Rodeo and a Cody Johnson concert — the perfect mix of adventure and fun. We’ve been making memories ever since and can’t wait to continue exploring life hand in hand.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
