We met summer 2022 when we both were on the K7 leadership team! Brett was on the programs team, and I was helping run the Mi7 program. We instantly hit it off and became close friends (I wanted to be a little more than just friends). After summer, we went back to our respective colleges for our senior year, but stayed in contact. We both went back to kamp before starting our year at the Kanakuk Institute. Our friendship continued to deepen as we got to do life alongside one another and 79 other people in our class. Right after we graduated the Institute, Brett asked me on our first date and began to pursue me!! Our first date included mini golf (high stakes of course), lunch & a walk. We officially started dating while at kamp and began long distance as the summer wrapped up. I moved to Tulsa to do KLIFE while Brett moved to Nashville to teach & coach soccer. Since then, we gotten really familiar with FaceTime calls and airports! In December 2024, Brett surprised me when he came to Tulsa early and made it even sweeter when he popped the question!! As we look towards May, we are eager and excited to end long distance and get to do daily life together in Nashville TN.
