Our story began way back in high school (though Dan doesn’t quite remember). I often hung out in Dan’s garage with his stepbrother while Dan shared the same friend group as my brother Charlie. Talk about a missed opportunity.

From Dan’s first time in Las Vegas to Caleb Williams’ debut as a Chicago Bear, we had a great first summer together. We continued to grow together, further deepening the connection that was always there. We made it “official” and moved in together in December.

They say “when you know, you know” and we definitely knew.

I SAID YES! At my Doctorate of Nursing Practice graduation, in front of our families, Dan got down on one knee and asked to spend forever with me.

From a missed love connection all those years ago to a south side love story, we cannot wait to share this next chapter with you!
