We met in the Summer of 2019. On our first date, we went to a McMenamins for appetizers and drinks, then rode around on electric scooters throughout downtown Portland, and shared our first kiss at the waterfront.


Throughout our time together, we have lived in Redmond, we go camping and boating with friends every summer, attend OSU football games, go to concerts, drove up to Montana, traveled to Hawaii where we got to go skydiving, and we go off roading at the beach and dunes in Austin's wheeler.


In 2021, we decided to start a little family and got our first dog together! A chocolate lab named Duke. He has been a joy in our lives. Duke is a cuddly, energetic pup who has rightfully earned his nickname, spazzmatazz.


On a Cabo trip in February of 2023, Austin asked me to go down to the beach with him so he could fly his drone and get some footage of the beach and resort. At one point, he turned to face me and said “I love you and this is why we are down here today.” He knelt and asked, “Will you marry me?” I have been dreaming of hearing those words! Without a doubt, I said “YES!”


Austin and I cannot wait to share our love with our friends and family!
