ENGAGED!!!!!
On February 13, 2025, the day before Valentine's day, Caden flew out from Grand Junction, CO to surprise Mikaela that night in Laguna Beach, California. That morning Zsa Zsa (Mikaela's sister) and Caden were in communication all day worried about the rain storm and Mikaela finding out, but it ended up being the perfect surprise and such a special night! Mikaela and Caden are so excited to take this next step into marriage together and become one.
