Brandon & I met through mutual friends my freshman year of college. He was home from boot camp and we went jet skiing at his mom's house on Lake Superior. After that night, we exchanged numbers and starting talking. He came home for 2 weeks before he left on deployment over seas for 6 months and we decided that we were going to go through with long distance. This was at the airport when I picked him up after not seeing each other for 7 months!

This was my first time getting to fly to California to see him and for the next 3 1/2 years I spent going to visit him out there whenever I got a chance. It was basically my second home.

My first marine ball.

We did it! Here is us reuniting after his last deployment over seas. My mom and I flew to California to be there when he came home.

Spent my 21st birthday with family in Newport Beach, CA.

Our road trip from CA to WI. This was the last time Brandon would wear his military uniform after serving for the last 4 years! We stopped in Utah, Colorado, Kansas, and made it home to celebrate the 4th of July with family & friends.

Moved into our house together and been there ever since. We’ve done a lot of house renovations and it has been such a fun journey!

Found out we were expecting a little boy due March 2022.

Welcomed our bundle of joy into the world.

We got engaged while vacation in Montego Bay, Jamaica!!! We are so excited to experience this with our amazing friends & family in the same place he proposed.
