Our Wedding

Josh and I have grad school to thank for bringing us together. More specifically, the ice breaker activities everyone knows and loves! I may have walked to his side of the classroom hoping he’d notice me, but he made the first move! So, don’t let him tell you he’s shy! We spent the rest of the semester getting to know each other over pizza when there wasn’t enough parking left at Johnson Center for us to make it to class. It was just before Halloween when Josh introduced me to his family, including his, now our, fur baby, Kylo. Since hindsight is always 20/20, it’s safe to assume that Ky knew I was going to be his mom from that point forward; to this day, he still cries and licks my face every time I come in the door. We spent the spring semester continuing to learn about each other and quickly began to push each other to new heights. It was after graduation that Josh and I&nbsp;were able to come to Ohio. While there he met my family and some of my closest friends. Further into the summer, Josh convinced me to apply for a job that I felt was far out of reach. It was through his confidence in me that I landed my first "big kid"&nbsp;job as an&nbsp;athletic trainer. Unfortunately that job was&nbsp;13 hours away from one another. We spent July through December seeing each other about once a month and it was on December 21, 2017 that Josh and Ky took me to where we had our first date and he popped the question! Yes, I was surprised and so happy.. and you know the rest &mdash; I said yes!

How We Met 

Josh &&nbsp;I have always been big into fitness. It's something I'm excited that we share together. We're not that crazy fit couple, but rather the fun fit couple that tries to motivate those around us, and also we hope to be the fun fit parents that pass the love fitness on to our future children.&nbsp;When I was working in Fresno, I&nbsp;had 5 days vacation for Christmas.&nbsp; I&nbsp;spent that time in Albuquerque. I flew home on the 20th of December; it was late when I got in. We didn't stay up long, but Ky, him and I&nbsp;did get up early to workout at Big Barn, the Crossfit gym where Josh works.&nbsp;We didn't really have a plan, so we ended up making our own workouts. Whenever this happens, it usually turns into me throwing in my favorite movements, and Josh goes along with it even if they aren't his best. ;) After doing that first workout, I&nbsp;suggested doing some extra work, some core/cardio just because I&nbsp;knew how much food I was going to inhale the next few days haha. After that workout, I&nbsp;spent a little bit catching up with old friends at the gym that I&nbsp;hadn't seen in a while.&nbsp;Finally, after a few hours, we left to meet his mom. I&nbsp;asked him twice, once leaving the gym and once after we got in the car, if he wanted me to call his mom so we could figure out where to eat. After the second time he told me to wait just a minute, I was getting pretty hangry -- a mood&nbsp; of mine Josh knows all to well. I&nbsp;couldn't quite figure out why he was making me wait but I decided it was easiest not to ask any more questions.&nbsp;Before I&nbsp;knew it, we pulled into Canteen Brewhouse. I&nbsp;was a little puzzled because it wasn't even noon, but I&nbsp;also wasn't complaining. From that moment on, this story picks up speed. I&nbsp;got out of the car and Josh & Ky followed, Josh told me to close my eyes quick and then when I&nbsp;opened them the two best boys were asking to be my forever! It was absolutely perfect, just us together in that moment.&nbsp;I&nbsp;asked a stranger to take our&nbsp;picture, we celebrated, and then we had lunch at Costco -- another one of our most favorite places. Hopefully you all felt the anticipation in this story, because I&nbsp;can only imagine how anxious Josh was getting as I continued to drag out our morning. It's safe to say if I'd had known, I would have definitely opted out of the gym all together and skipped straight to the best part!
