Where to begin…

With the help from God, there were a lot of special people that contributed to us meeting. In January of 2021, Garrett was visiting Ames, IA to watch his sister Addy play in a basketball tournament. They had some downtime prior to games being played in the afternoon and decided to go get lunch at Hickory Park. There were about 20 people (kids and parents) at the restaurant. It turned out that Mollie was the waitress for the tables. Garrett did not say one word to Mollie during the whole lunch that day because of the embarrassment from all the basketball dads asking a million questions. They asked things like "Are you single? Where do you go to school? Are you planning to stay in Ames after college?" By the end of the lunch Garrett had enough of the question entourage and decided to excuse himself to go outside. Little did he know his mom wrote his name and phone number on the lunch receipt and handed it to Mollie. She also said and I quote, “My son is truly a nice person and he is going to be a doctor.” I guess that line worked because a week or so later Mollie texted Garrett and the rest is history. We currently live in Ankeny, IA and have two cat children (Dale and Delilah). Mollie is a full-time accountant at Hogan & Hansen and Garrett works full-time as a traveling occupational therapist with EveryStep Home Care. When we aren’t enduring the busyness of daily work lives, we enjoy relaxing at home and watching shows/movies, listening to music, and repotting our plants that all have unique names. Feel free to ask us about them. We also enjoy going out to eat at new places, spending time with family and friends, and attending young-adult church group. We are both competitive people and enjoy playing recreational sports and hosting board game nights. These past three and a half years have been truly special. We are grateful for everyone in our life who contributed to us meeting and have helped us grow. We are excited for the future together and spending it with the people that we love.
