We first met in high school, graduating together in the same year, but life took us in different directions—until fate (and our moms) stepped in. After our moms struck up a conversation at the bank, we reconnected and quickly rekindled our bond, sharing laughter, love, and countless memories.

Our journey has taken us through two football seasons in Kalamazoo and a long-distance relationship while Nick was at the University of West Virginia. During that time, we added Miss Kona B to our family and made a big move to Minneapolis in 2022. After one season there, we relocated to Ohio for Nick’s coaching position at Kent State. That holiday season, Nick proposed in Elkhart, surrounded by the love of our family.

Now, life is bringing us full circle as we prepare for another exciting move—back to Minneapolis! As we cheer on the Golden Gophers and continue building our future together, we’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our story with you!
