I met Matt... to tell you the truth I have no idea when I met Matt. I guess it must have been at Sunday School? But I don't remember ever meeting Matt, I have just always known who he was. Matt and I started getting to know each other better than knowing of each other my sophomore year of high school. Our first date was to McDonalds because Matt lied and told me he had never had a Shamrock Shake before, so that I insisted we needed to go so he could have one. We were officially a couple the fall of my junior year of high school and we've been together ever since. Now, six graduations, three apartments, and a cross country move later, and he's still my favorite ice cream date. You'll be happy to know that while my love for Matt has stayed the same, my taste in ice cream has improved, and now in March we go to Culvers to get mint Oreo concrete mixers.

I met Bella... at some point during our childhood but I could not tell you when that was. As far as I can remember we have known each other. It wasn't until high school that we really became friends. Our first date was fueling our individual ice cream addictions. This has evolved over the last ten years into a reward for whoever has the better golf round. Our story has taken us water skiing in Twin Lakes, bar hopping through La Crosse, becoming "real" adults in South Carolina, and so much more. There is no one else I would rather see a Broadway show with, and I am excited to see where our next adventures take us.
