We first crossed paths through a mutual friend in Seattle, where our friendship blossomed within a close-knit group. What started as a simple connection turned into something truly special. After a year of friendship, in the midst of a global pandemic in 2020, we confessed our feelings for each other and began our journey as a couple.

Our shared love for adventure and the outdoors led us to Bend, Oregon in 2021. The small-town charm, abundant outdoor activities, and ever growing craft beer scene won our hearts. Bend’s dog-friendly environment was a perfect match for us, and we soon welcomed our puppy, Dakota, into our family along with our cat Rocca.

In October of 2023, we took a memorable trip to Nashville to see one of our favorite artists, Noah Kahan. After a lovely dinner at the restaurant Husk, and a serene walk by the river, Alex proposed. It was a moment filled with love, excitement, and the promise of a beautiful future together. What we love most about each other is the way we embrace our true selves. Alex admires my patience and thoughtfulness, while I treasure his passion for life and the little things he does to make me feel special and take care of me every single day.

As we look forward to this next chapter, we are excited to continue exploring, enjoying life’s simple pleasures, and building a future together, surrounded by the love of our family, friends, and our adorable pets.
