Tyler (Groomsman) had his 21st birthday party and we were both there! We just happened to end up in this picture together! 😊 We chatted a bit that night, but never exchanged phone numbers, so we lost touch with each other for a while.

“Will you go steady with me??” Adam asked me to officially be his girlfriend up at my family cabin on Mille Lacs Lake.

(Little did he know, that’s where my parents got engaged!) 🥰

We purchased our townhome in Ramsey in Feb. 2020!

We adopted Beanie the day before the state shut down!

She was the purrfect addition at the perfect time! 😻

“I want more than to just go steady...I want you to be my wife!” <3

Adam proposed on the lakeside boardwalk

at Bear Head Lake State Park on the DAY BEFORE our

9 year anniversary. We had such an AMAZING trip including camping, hiking, seeing 3 black bears, and just having such a wonderful time together!

We adopted Mahko from an old friend who needed

to find her a new loving home.

It took a while, but the babies are finally getting along…(most of the time)! 😹

In addition to enjoying our time together being engaged, we're also excited about a couple of our most recent accomplishments!

Kayla received her ESL teaching license from Concordia St. Paul, and Adam was a 2024 recipient of a Distinguished Employee Award.
