We met on Nick's birthday 3 years ago at Totus Tuus training in Ohio

We were placed as co-leaders for our team, working together as missionaries for one crazy, amazing summer

It was pretty much love at first sight for us and we started dating just a few months later... as Nick moved to Virginia for grad school and Grace went to study abroad in Italy. We finally reunited and made a cross-country road trip from DC to Denver with our missionary friends right before Christmas

We spent two years dating long distance, visiting each other at school in Kansas and Virginia, and with our families in Colorado and Ohio

After Grace graduated, we made the decision to end long distance and she moved to Virginia! From being over 1,000 miles away from each other, what a gift it is to now be less than 10 miles apart!
