We met through mutual friends in the spring of 2021. Michael and I grew up less than a mile away from each other and even rode the same school bus in elementary school. We spent most of our lives right next to each other and never even knew it. Once I moved out of my childhood home and was living almost an hour away from where we grew up, we finally met. Our story really started on the Hard labor reservoir fishing with friends. We spent many days hanging out on that reservoir and getting to know each other. After a few months of being just mutual friends we finally decided to be more than that. We started dating in June of 2021 and got engaged on April 25th, 2024. We would not be where we are today without the support of our friends and families. We are so excited to spend the rest of our lives together and celebrate with all of our loved ones on our big day!
