We met last summer as Michaela was looking to move from Elgin, MN, to Loveland, CO. Chandler had been forwarded her e-mail about moving here and reached out from there. What started out as friendship changed quickly when she arrived in Colorado, and we discovered we had much more than that. Immediately, after meeting in person we started going on dates with the first one being a day long trip to Estes Park... the picture is from our first date ;) We hit it off immediately, and the following week would change our lives forever. About a week passed before we were officially together and knew that it was something special. In late October, we made the trip to Elgin, MN, and he was able to meet her parents and her whole family. The holidays passed, and after she came back from Minnesota it was soon after on January 12th that we got engaged! She swore she wouldn't be surprised but when it happened, she sure was!

We can't wait to see what the future holds and see how our lives will change in this exciting year. Our story is one of two people finding each other by the absolute hand of God. We are so blessed to have found our best friend and life partner in each other.
