Hunter and Chloe grew up doing homeschool tumbling. They were in a class together in 2008. Little did they know that they would be marrying each other 16 years later.

Growing up, they were part of the same activities, but different friend groups and never thought they would end up together. Flash forward to 2022, Hunter was coaching Chloe’s brother, Darius’, basketball team, The Des Moines Defenders. This allowed time for them to catch each other’s eye and occasionally have a conversation. Hunter would even go to watch Chloe’s games and would cheer super loudly! Her whole team knew he liked her from day 1. In November Chloe sprained her ankle playing basketball. Hunter then decided to seize the moment and be all sweet and text Chloe to ask her how her ankle was doing. He would text her a couple times a week and ask about her ankle, how basketball was going, and how her day was going. Chloe thought this was super sweet of him and would FaceTime her sister, Sarah, freaking out with excitement about every time she got a text from him. Towards the end of February was Chloe’s senior night, Hunter was there as part of Chloe’s cheer squad and even bought chocolate for her! He sure knows the way to a woman’s heart :). The thing about this chocolate is that he was too shy to give it to her and made his mom do it. (Chloe still makes fun of him for that.) Later that day Chloe had another basketball game in which she ended up with a concussion. Hunter again took this as an opportunity to swoop in and text her about how she was doing with this injury. This time they started texting a lot more often. March at Chloe’s last game of her senior season, Hunter got Chloe chocolate once again, and once again he didn’t give it to her. He had Darius deliver it to her. Chloe was again freaking out about how caring he was and she talked to her basketball team and how much she liked him. Chloe and Hunter talked in person when they saw each other on occasion but that weekend they talked a whole bunch. The next week after basketball ended Chloe got a text from Hunter about going out for coffee. Chloe’s heart was racing and she screamed when she saw his text. Chloe and Hunter went to get coffee a couple days later and had the usual first date question and jitters. A couple hangouts, intentional conversation, FaceTiming, praying together and Hunter asking Chloe’s dad to date her, and on March 29, 2023, they started officially dating.

March 29 - now

There has been such joy, laughter, tears, prayers, and love in their relationship, and they are so excited to see what the future brings.
