We met and began dating in October 2018, during Homecoming week at Illinois State University (where we both had been freshman for only a few weeks). The day after we met, we met up early in the morning for the homecoming parade and football game. We spent the entire day chatting and laughing and have been inseparable ever since. Just before we started our senior year of college, we moved in together. Shortly after, we adopted our sweet black cat, Traveler. After two wonderful years as a family of three, we brought home our Malador puppy, Daphne, in August of 2023! At the ISU homecoming parade in October of 2023, 5 years after we met and fell in love at that very parade, Logan asked me to marry him. Two months later, we bought our first house! Over the past (very boring and uneventful) 5 years we have grown so much together, creating a beautiful life we could've only dreamed of at 18 years old. We cannot wait to celebrate just how amazing we are with all of our family and friends. See you in December! 😉
