Austin and Kerry both grew up in Snoqualmie Valley and went to different elementary schools but the same middle and high school. Austin knew Kerry’s brother because they were in the same grade but Kerry was two grades behind them, so they didn’t have any classes together. They would see each other around school, around town, and at the middle school dances where Austin was a DJ. In the year 2010, their lives changed forever! The Tolo dance was coming up and Kerry decided to ask Austin by writing on the window of his truck. Of course he said YES!

They started dating April 17, 2010 when Austin asked Kerry to be his girlfriend. That next year, Austin left for the Marines and was enlisted for 4 years. He returned home in 2015. Kerry went to Washington State University and completed her 4 years of college and graduated in 2016. They moved in together and started both of their careers; Austin as an Electrician and Kerry as a Dental Hygienist. One by one, two incredibly cute wiener dogs came into the picture, who are now 14 years old (Annie) and 6 years old (Enzo).

March 18, 2023: On a beautiful sunny and 75 degree day, Austin & Kerry went to the Salish lodge for breakfast. They went to see the Snoqualmie falls at the lookout after they were done eating. Austin got down on one knee and asked Kerry to marry him ☺️ This year is their 14th year together and they’re getting MARRIED!!
