It all started in Washington—after one first date, we quickly became inseparable and realized we didn’t want to spend another day apart (or miss the chance to lovingly get on each other’s nerves).

After countless plane rides and trips to visit each other after Hunter headed off to Kansas for his new duty station, We found ourselves on a new adventure: moving Emma to Kansas just a short while after with our pack of pups—Beau, Hazel, and Aarianna. Life with our furry crew was already full of love, chaos, and fur, but we decided to up the ante and added Fletcher to the mix. What can we say? We’re suckers for wagging tails.

Our life together has been nothing short of an adventure—fishing trips, hunting, exploring new places, and long road trips. One of our most memorable road trips took us from visiting Emma’s family in Washington to Hunter’s family in Tennessee. After a quick pit stop back in Kansas, we hit the road again, and on December 10th, 2023, in Tennessee, Hunter popped the question. Spoiler alert: Emma said yes!

Just a few months later, on February 2, 2024, we said “I do” in a small, intimate ceremony surrounded by close family. It was perfect—everything we could have dreamed of and more.

Now, after navigating a military deployment, we’re finally getting the chance to gather everyone together and celebrate —with laughter, dancing, and the people we love most. We can’t wait to share this next chapter of our lives with all of you!
