Our story began in the summer of 2020 at Ora Et Labora (OEL). The journey started when Blaise created OEL after the covid cancellation of Prayer & Action. In need of some support for the rest of the summer, he welcomed Grace to the team as a leader. Our paths first crossed during the initial week, thanks to an invitation from Gianna Arnold.

We started hanging out and getting to know each other, along with our friends we met while doing OEL.

We continued to do almost everything together including giving retreats, spending evenings on walks, and socializing with friends whenever we could.

Our junior prom was an exciting evening of laughter, and dancing... we did leave a little early to get Andy's ice cream and watch Nacho Libre with friends as our after prom.

For senior prom, we enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with dancing, and quality time with each other and our friends.

We graduated from Bishop Carroll Catholic High School, marking the end of an unforgettable chapter for our lives.

Our first summer after high school we did Totus Tuus in the Wichita diocese.

We started classes for business school at K-State in Manhattan KS in Fall of 2022. We continued to grow closer.

Grace joined the Jirak Camino a week out from their flight date, definitely an experience to remember.

Blaise proposed at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's Adoration chapel on Christmas Day!
