Our Wedding

Hunter and I met Christmas break 2014. I was a senior in high school and he was a freshman in college at Indiana University. We made it official in 2016 and dated long distance all throughout college. Hunter stayed in Bloomington and after a year in Indy, I decided to move back home to finish out school.     Hunter graduated college in May 2018 and moved back home to Valparaiso. In August 2019, we finally got our first apartment together. I moved to Valparaiso to finish college and graduated December 2021.     The following year brought so many amazing things to happen. After several months of trying to find a house, we found one to close and move into that May. Before we closed on our house, we had a trip to DisneyWorld planned. Little did I know, Hunter had plans to propose to me at the happiest place on earth. On April 24, 2022 I said yes to forever! After living not even a month in our new home, we knew it felt too empty. We brought our fur baby Thatch to join the family. We most recently added Hoosier, another fur baby, to our family.     Over all these years, we’ve gone on so many adventures and have made even more memories. We love to travel and have been to California, Colorado, Florida, North/South Carolina, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic (check out our photo gallery to see our favorite places!). We plan to go to Italy for our honeymoon and explore the world even more!
