Chase and I met during my freshmen year at UW Whitewater when he was on campus visiting a high school friend (shout out to Spencer for the introduction). We chatted, but one of us was more interested than the other ;)

It wasn't until five years later, when Chase reached out that we actually went on a date. His parents initially referred to me as "Jane" because when they would look at his location, he was suddenly always in Janesville which is where I was living at the time.

Fast forward a couple of years: we bought our first home together in Delavan, which is the city where Chase popped the big question after the cutest date night around our new town.

We'll be celebrating on the former dairy farm where my grandparents raised my father and his 6 siblings. It's piece of land that's seen a lot of love. We can't wait to start our next chapter there with all of you by our sides.
