David and I met at a dinner party at the Elks Lodge in Petersburg Alaska. He was hired on the F/V Obsession for longline fish, as my brother-in-law was the captain at the time. This was on October 26, 2018 (hence the wedding date). He was nicknamed Mr. October by my close friends, so from this day on it became our anniversary and a special day for me.

On September 2, 2023, David brought me up to a clearcut on Woodpecker Road and proposed. It was a sunny day and one of my favorite days to date.

Our colors are emerald, gold, terracotta and black. We are getting married at LeConte Glacier in Alaska. I was born and raised in Alaska and having a fall wedding (after moose season) is an ideal wedding for the both of us. The views, fall vibes, and adventure of saying our vows at the Glacier, no matter the weather, will be a great day!

David and I have a Zoo of animals even though it is against his wishes. I have always wanted a farm and he lets me run my rescue program out of our house, so I guess that’s close enough. For my birthday this last year he bought me two Nigerian Dwarf baby goats, Tink and Donkey! They make every day that much better because of their goofiness. They get along with all the other animals and even though an impulsive gift, the best addition to our pack. They will be making a guest appearance at our wedding reception! We currently have 4 dogs (at the moment), 2 cats, and 2 goats.

David and I love camping and hunting. We recently purchased a Hewscraft and it takes us on all our adventures around Southeast Alaska. From renting Forest Service cabins, running our jet boats up the river, tent camping, or even sleeping in one of our many rigs we have staged on different islands, it’s always a good time. All of my favorite memories of camping with David start with a good cooked steak on a sandy beach watching the sun go down with tunes on.

Our Honda Talon is also a way for us to get out of "city limits" on the island and look for critters or treasure.
