Little did we know that starting to chat online would lead to a forever partner and forever best friend.

Lets take it back to Oct 11, 2021. Mark said hey, Katie said hey and the rest was history. After talking for about a month, Mark asked Katie out to brunch. Katie was quick to say yes, then she cancelled the morning of saying she was going to Minot for a bantam hockey game.

Mark thought he was getting stood up as who in their right mind would travel that far for a game on a Saturday morning. Well, turns out Katie. Katie text him along the way and he soon realized she was that nuts.

He asked her to a Sioux hockey game next. She was sick and really did not feel like going, but he laid the guilt on hard since it was his birthday. They met at the Ralph and never looked back.

We have had so many wonderful memories along the way, and cannot wait to make more. We have been blessed with the two most beautiful baby boys, Hutton and Hayes. We count our blessings daily that we have the life we do. Now to just make it official and become one. We are looking forward to celebrating our love with you in October!
