When we met: We met October 2016 when Alyssa was 15 and Levi was 14.

Where we met: A friend introduced us at Ridgecrest Baptist Church in the student center on a Wednesday night. We hit it off and before long Levi was buying Alyssa a lot of chocolate chip pancakes & bacon at Village Inn after service!

First Date: During the winter 2018 Levi asked Alyssa to go on a date to go bowling at Andy B's. We didn't even get to bowl since Hy-Vee rented it out that night! This lead to many dates afterwards including going to the nature center, shooting shotguns, & going to the Aviary Cafe.

How we started dating: Levi asked Alyssa to be his girlfriend in his driveway at "Casa" on April 18th, 2022!

When & where Levi proposed: He asked on June 13th, 2024 at Wilsons Creek National Battlefield at one of our favorite spots!
