Joseph and Morgan's story began one evening in downtown San Luis Obispo. Morgan was out with a childhood friend who happened to know Joseph from Chico State. Fate (and a fun night out) brought them together, and they instantly clicked. At the time, Morgan had just been accepted into nursing school in Nashville, TN, while Joseph was preparing to move back home from Chico to work on the family farm. Despite the distance, their connection only grew stronger over two years of long-distance, cherishing every visit during school breaks. Finally, with one dog and five chickens later, Joseph proposed to Morgan in January 2025.
