In peak covid of 2020, Tanner and I spent a lot of time playing video games in our free time. In the midst of what felt like the world shutting down, we found each other. However, when we first met, we absolutely and utterly hated each other. Our love blossomed from making fun of each other and eventually adding each other as friends on Instagram. We first started dating on July 13th, of 2020. We thereafter spent every waking -moment on Instagram's video call option so much so that by the end of 2021, I had to buy a new phone due to those call options being burned into my phone screen! We moved in together in 2022. Got engaged in 2024 and the rest is history!

Before we started dating, we met each other online through the video game Destiny 2.
May 18, 2021
After dating for almost one year long-distance, this was the first time we got to see each other in person! In that year I was finishing my senior year of Nursing school in Wisconsin and Tanner had started and completed his HVAC school in Texas. Tanner visited Washington first for 11 days.

One of our first "dates" out at the Oregon Zoo.

Our second "date" at Seaside, OR. Tanner's first time seeing the West Coast Beaches.

I followed Tanner back to Texas and met his family for 2 weeks while studying for the NCLEX.

Tanner was working and living in Texas, while I was working and living in Washington. I decided to make a surprise trip to Texas for his birthday. This was taken on his birthday at one of the Texas Stars Hockey games.

Random little October date to the pumpkin patch.

The second wedding we attended together. Congrats to Jenna and Jacob Mallory!
October 12, 2024
Our yearly pumpkin patch obligatory photo! The day Tanner told me he was originally going to propose to me, but I just had to go back inside and grab my coat, oops.
October 19, 2024
The day Tanner proposed! In our first apartment, on our couch, on some random Saturday just like how we are.
Ironically, despite being specially ordered, the ring didn't fit. The jewelers read the size upside down. In the photo after Tanner proposed we were both laughing at how far the ring could slide down on my finger. We spent the day talking about how maybe it was God's plan he didn't propose at the pumpkin patch.
October 30, 2024
Our first solo vacation we have ever took together as a couple and newly engaged. Tanner knew he wanted to go to Disneyland as fiancés.
October 31, 2024
Disneyland Park, and the day we officially decided we wanted to be married on Halloween.
We moved a second time, out of the apartment he proposed in, down the road in Jaunuary of 2025.

Date of our engagement photos!
Current day, we enjoy going on walks, playing with our 3 cats, as well as our 1 puppy, and playing multiplayer videogames together. We can't wait to celebrate our special day with you!
