We met one another through a mutual friend; Maia's best friend, and Laird's ex girlfriend from high school, as a matter of fact. . . Yes, we know it sounds weird on paper ;)

Though a little skeptical, they were intrigued, and agreed to get acquainted as friends first. We ended up hitting it off right away, and started spending lots of time together. Driving to and from church together, and going for long walks to talk about life on occasion (just as friends, of course). We came to care deeply for one another. After nearly a year of friendship, and many deep conversations later, We decided to make the relationship official! We spent the next year and a bit getting to know one another deeply and carefully. It was a kind of connection neither of us had ever experienced before, both wonderful and terrifying. We got engaged in April, 2024, and set to work planning our future. Laird bought a run down old house, right next door to his parents. With the help of our families we have been working hard at rebuilding it from the foundation up. It's been hard work, but we are so grateful! we cannot wait to begin our life together! We have actually moved our wedding date up, so that we don't have to wait so long. The best is yet to come!
