Our Wedding

After 8 years of dating and 9 years of friendship, at last Andrew proposed on October 17th, 2022, on a lovely mountain hike! We made a Fall visit to Colorado to see Claire & Ben and stayed in Crested Butte. Andrew proposed on the peak of West Maroon Bells Pass- it was perfect- speech, tears, view and all! We celebrated with a bottle of champagne and a view of the Rockies!

We met Junior year at Michigan State University (2013)- I was the girl next door 🙂 We started out as neighbors, then friends, but by Spring we knew it was more 🤍   I went to Europe for a few months that Summer- we missed each other so- by the time I got home things were different- we’ve been inseparable since 🤍  By 5th year of college we were basically living together, finishing our second Bachelors- sharing a crappy 400 sq foot basement that flooded when it rained. Oh did we have fun though!  After school I made the rash decision of moving to Omaha, NE where Andrew had an internship- and started my nursing career. Thankfully the internship turned into a packaging engineer job for him and we spent 4 years living downtown Omaha.  Moving to Minneapolis was good for us- we’re enjoying the Twin Cities and have a 2 year old puppy we adore- we can’t wait to see what comes next!
