Our friendship grew into something more the summer of 2023—one of those moments that didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, but ended up changing everything. What started as easy conversation turned into something steady and real.

That fall, we both began studying at Walla Walla University. Being in the same place allowed our relationship to grow through the everyday—classes, late-night study sessions, and all the in-between moments that quietly shape a life together.

Now, as we take this next step, we just want to say thank you. To our families, friends, mentors, and everyone who’s supported us along the way—you’ve helped shape who we are, and we’re grateful to have you as part of this journey.
