We have known each other for as long as we can remember, thanks to our dads, who are both farmers and longtime friends. But it was not until high school that our story really began. Cody first asked Katelyn to be his girlfriend during their sophomore year. At the time, she was happy to cheer him on at his hockey games as his 'super fan' and keep things as friends.

Fast forward to our senior year, and we found ourselves spending more and more time together. Cody was on the sidelines of Katelyn’s soccer games, and we shared all the milestones and excitement of senior year. Then, one chilly winter evening during hockey season, Katelyn and her younger sister, Lindsey, were at one of Cody’s games. Katelyn had a hunch Cody might finally ask her to be his girlfriend that night—but the moment did not come.

Later that evening, as Katelyn was getting ready for bed, her mom came into her room and casually asked, “So, did you say yes?” Lindsey quickly chimed in, “Mom, he didn’t even ask yet!” Not one to wait around, Katelyn called Cody to ask if he was planning to pop the question. Sure enough, at nearly midnight, on December 18, 2017, Cody made it official.

Fun Fact: We chose to mark our anniversary as December 19. Cody wore #19 on his hockey jersey, so it felt like the perfect fit—and technically, it was almost midnight anyway. Now, it’s a date we will always remember!
