Kaden asked Taylor to his fraternity semi-formal as "just friends" - March 2022
Kaden finally worked up the courage and asked Taylor on a date! We went to "his spot" to watch the sunset, eat sushi, and watch the ranch in the bed of his truck. The date got cut short because a van pulled up next to us and we got scared, so we left lol. As Kaden was dropping Taylor off at home, he surprised her with a succulent he had planted with his grandma!
Taylor decided it was time for her family to meet Kaden. We went fishing at the pond at her house. Trent was happy to see she brought home a hunter/fisherman ;)
Spent our first 4th of July weekend at a Brett Eldredge concert in Omaha and then headed to Johnson Lake! Still just friends ;)
Spent the rest of summer 2022 at the lake, more concerts, and spending time with our friends and each other, but just as friends, of course.
Danced the night away at Kadens 80's themed fraternity function!
We spent many weekends in Lincoln watching Husker football!
Lots of love and dancing!
Another weekend, another fraternity event... but this time as boyfriend and girlfriend!!!

Our second trip to Mexico together!! So much fun and so many memories made!
We participate in a newlyweds game but may have fibbed a little bit about being newlyweds. We ended up winning a couples massage, so it was totally worth it!

Can you believe this was only a few hours after the turkey trot?!? Thanksgiving 2024!

Spent lots of fall evenings playing fetch with Nelli at the park! Easily the highlight of our day for all three of us!
Our third Christmas Eve at the farm together! Taylor was a little skeptical that Kaden was going to purpose this night!
