Ryan and I met on October 20th, 2019 to go bowling (of course) at Laurel Lanes. We went on multiple dates a week the first month of knowing each other. Ryan asked me to be his girlfriend at a Luke Combs concert almost a month to the day after we first met, November 21st, 2019.

Since then, life has given us some surprises. The 2020 pandemic was a tough time for many, but for us, we were able to use that time to explore our relationship. We found that we had a lot of core common interests like hiking, rock climbing, reading, and traveling.

One of our favorite things to do together is plan visits to the National Parks. Our goal is to see majority of the parks while were physically able to enjoy the variety of experiences the parks have to offer. In the future, we hope to take our children with us to show them the beauty of the outdoors.

We can't wait to celebrate the start of our next chapter with everyone!
