Man where do I even start? See the timeline below to see the shorty version of our story. The thing that pops into my head the most from Tristan is “I thought we were just going to be friends”. Now he is my best friend and soon to be husband. I am excited for the journey that is ahead of us.

I had always known of him and he knew of me. We had some mutual friends at the time try to hook us up sooner, but the timing wasn't right. In 2021, at the county fair, ironically where my parents met, I ended up sitting in his truck for the truck & tractor pulls. And although I remember it plain as day, his response to remembering that day was “I was a bit on the sober side and I don't remember much”. We had talked here and there over social media for a few months before meeting in person, at the Labor Day festival in West Liberty that my family stays the weekend at. He decided to bring a camper and some tractors of his own and participate in the fun. We ended up spending time together the whole weekend and it just went from there. September 14th he asked me to be his girlfriend. From helping me break calves, to cattle shows, horse shows, work, barn work, yard work, holidays, ups and downs, we have done it all, and all of it we have done together. There really hasn't been a time in our relationship that we haven't been handling a project or task without the help from the other. We are always together and we enjoy every minute.
