In March of 2024 we both started a profile on the dating app HER. After chatting for a couple days, we went on our first date on March 25, 2024 for coffee which turned into dinner. One our second date we spent all day together and by the end we both knew we had met our person. But it took a little more time to admit it to ourselves or to each other.

Throughout the summer we met each other's families and friends. Although there are many we still haven't met on both sides, but are looking forward to that in the future. (Tell us you come from big Mormon families without telling us you come from big Mormon families! Haha!) We went on several adventures like camping, hiking, and our favorite-paddle boarding. Through these adventures and chaos that sometimes came with them, our deep connection and love for one another grew. We started spending as much time together as possible even though it meant splitting our time living between our Herriman (Carrie's) and Heber (Linzee's) homes and sometimes keeping odd hours because Linzee works crazy hours as a nurse.

As the summer came to an end and the fall began we knew we wanted to start our forever life together. And for us, that means marriage. On a trip to St. George, UT in November we BOTH popped the question while hiking around Snow Canyon with silicone rings. Our official engagement date is November 9th, but we have both proposed again with our real rings over the recent holidays.

We survived the chaos and fun trips that came with the holidays all while looking for and finally deciding on where we want to live as our journey begins. Some have thought we are crazy for wanting to live in the mountains since we both have to commute to Salt Lake City for work, but we are in the process of buying the cutest little home in Heber City, UT! We both grew up in smaller towns, and loved the lives we had as kids. We are so excited to make our home in the mountains of the Wasatch Back. Linzee grew up in the Heber Valley- in Midway-and has very deep roots in the area. Carrie, who grew up in tiny Ririe, ID, loves being near the mountains, and loves the great outdoors. She's fallen in love with Heber during our time together. We are so happy and can't wait to move in at the end of January.

Our adventure is only just beginning, and we are so thrilled we get to celebrate our love with you on June 19, 2025. We are getting married at Soldier Hollow in Midway, UT. We love you all and hope to see many of you there!
