We went on our first date on October 5th, 2015. It went so well that we had two more dates that week! The 10th is the day we first considered ourselves "officially" a couple. This picture was taken in an empty parking lot after I got pulled over for the first time and was crying hysterically because I was so scared. I thought that he was going to think I was crazy, and never want to see me again. To my surprise, he was so sweet and helped me calm down. I knew then that he was definitely a keeper!

Just before our 2nd dating anniversary, I went off to college. UW-Whitewater was only about an hour away from home, but it was still our first time experiencing any sort of distance. He came to visit a lot, and we had tons of fun. This picture is from Halloween 2017, when we went as Jim and Pam from The Office.

After about 4 years of dating, Dylan asked me to spend the rest of my life with him on the edge of a cliff at Devil's Lake State Park. I was already crying before he even asked because I was so scared to get on that cliff for the "picture." This was a really special day because Devil's Lake was already one of my favorite places (even more so now) and we were with some of our favorite people. I spent the rest of the day calling and texting everyone because I was so excited to share the news!

This past September, we finally got to move in together! Because of my job at UW-Whitewater, we get to live in an apartment on campus. I moved in in July, but Dylan finally got to move in in September. Living together is definitely an adjustment, but it's so fun and we're so happy to be done with long distance!

We are so excited for our big day! We can't wait to be husband and wife and celebrate with all of our friends and family.
