April 22, 2016 First Date.
Dalton & I had been texting back and forth for about 3 weeks, before he jumped on his motorcycle & rode to Cedar Falls to take me out to dinner. I remember sitting up in my room at college with Katie & Erin so anxious for him to arrive. At the time, I was working at Texas Roadhouse.. employees get a discount anytime they eat so naturally we went for the discount. (All jokes aside, we LOVE Texas Roadhouse.) After dinner, we met up with some of our high school friends to hang out at Dave's Place.


May 19, 2016 Boyfriend & Girlfriend.
We went disc golfing in Ankeny with another couple, I did much better walking then I did golfing.. so that wasn't what won him over.. On our way to dinner at Chili's, Dalton asked me to be his girlfriend. He sure didn't waste his time asking! ;)


2016-2023 Years In between.
We spent a lot of time with family & friends doing things we love to do! A lot had happened, I graduated college, Dalton completed his plumbing apprenticeship, I received my coaching jobs & teaching job, we celebrated many holidays & birthdays, moved into a house, got 4 cats (one came with the house), purchased a '72 Chevy, and went on several get-a-ways.


July 7, 2023 Engagement.
Fast forward 7 YEARS, and Dalton asked me to Marry him! About time. ;) While he had originally planned to ask me during fireworks at Goodguys, I had to ruin that plan by offering to take care of what needed done at home, before I came back down from coaching a home game, not allowing him to go home to get the ring. Oops! Again, I was just trying to be helpful while packing to head to Happy Times for the weekend.. I almost disrupted his plans again! I went inside to grab our overnight bags & Dalton said, Do you want to show this off this weekend? Without a doubt I said YES! We had a blast celebrating at Happy Times (Our favorite camping resort) & sharing the exciting news with loved ones!


May 11, 2024 Wedding.
We cannot wait to celebrate with you all. Our start to FOREVER.
