After meeting at a party, we went on our very first date to Starbucks. Being the first of many "$5 dates," it was evident we didn't need more than our college budgets to enjoy time together.

Kieran's first trip out to visit the Poole family! We went camping and hiked up to the place where Kieran would propose 5 years later.

We were not only a couple, but also teammates on the track and field team at the University of Minnesota. Through this, we made incredible friends and cheered each other on in our events.

Although COVID shut everything down, it didn't come without its silver linings. We got to spend a lot of time together, including a 2 week road trip, where we traveled through 12 states!

After graduating from UMN, Kieran signed on to throw hammer and weight (and occasionally discus), at the University of Alabama! Although we were sad we were far apart for a year, Hailey was so proud of him for experiencing something new.

After graduating from UMN, Hailey moved down to Tuscaloosa, AL to throw the javelin for the Crimson Tide!

We became dog parents! After a somewhat impulsive decision to visit the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter, we found our sweet girl, Caliber (Cali). After 2 years, she still keeps us on our toes...

One day, a stray mutt walked up to Hailey at our apartment in Tuscaloosa. Cold, scared, and hungry, he of course was welcomed into our home. After exhausting other options, he became part of our family and we named him Finnigan. He is the kindest, gentlest little animal and is now very spoiled.

After we both concluded school and track at UA, we moved up to Montana. Kieran is working his remote job and training in the hammer. Hailey started an accelerated nursing program at Montana State University!

After over 5 years of creating memories, Kieran proposed! We woke up that morning ready for an 8 mile hike, not knowing just how special the day would end up being. We are so excited to be married and celebrate with all of our loved ones.
