We met our freshman year at Taylor University during cross country camp. We were both in the same major and on the team together so we got to know each other as friends in classes and team dinners. It wasn't until junior year that we both began to see each other as more than friends. Our first date was in November, where we went out for dinner and glazed a turtle mug at a pottery studio. We started officially dating in January of that school year and within a year realized that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Some of our favorite things to do together include going for walks or car rides, reading, and playing games. We got engaged in June of 2025 and are excited to get married this December!
