Like any other love story.. we met at a bar.
One very cold late night in Cedar Falls. Chase left his own house party to go to a bar called Bigs. I was meeting friends at the same bar to celebrate their birthday. Just before Bigs closed, we met on the dance floor and danced for a couple songs. The lights turned on and Chase asked for my number. One thing led to another and we were inseparable.

A year later we moved to Florida during the pandemic. Chase had an opportunity to tune exotic cars and I completed my AA degree in Liberal Arts online. Moving to another state by ourselves had some obstacles, but the fun part is watching one another grow and live life to the fullest.

About our second year in Florida, we met our Florida family and some great people along the way. We’ve been on so many camping trips and exploring the real side of Florida. We have endless stories of jon boating at the river property, riding side by sides at Rancho, and driving our Jeeps in mud and water.

Our fourth year in Florida comes around and we got a case of home sickness. A very tough decision, and we moved back home to Iowa (in Winterset). After a while our hearts felt in the wrong place and we moved back to Florida a year later. The beautiful sun and forest was calling us back. As well as all the things we enjoyed doing.

We’re going on our fifth year living in Florida. Everyday is a new experience and we can’t wait to see what the future will bring.
