Nicole met Carter in July of 2019, when she hired him as a technician at her dad's shop. Within a month Carter was asking her dad for permission to date his daughter (both as a father and as a boss). At the beginning of their relationship they were inseparable. They worked all day together and then would often take turns staying at each others parent's houses each night.

By October of 2020 they signed a lease on their first apartment, still while working together. By January of 2022 Carter took a new job and they rediscovered the spark in their relationship by seeing the beauty of having some separation.

In October of 2022 they packed up their apartment and moved in with family in order to save up enough money to buy their first house. During this time, Carter convinced Nicole to get a puppy. They drove to Bismarck, North Dakota to pick up their beloved Benelli.

While scrolling through Zillow one day in 2023 they found a house in Pine City, Minnesota with a fenced in yard. They sent the link to their Realtor who informed them it had been taken off the market. Their Realtor kindly offered to reach out anyway to see if they were still interested in selling. Thankfully they were and this allowed Carter and Nicole to buy their first home! The process was quick, their offer was accepted in early December of 2023 and they signed and moved in at the beginning of January of 2024.

After a few months of living in their new home, they figured they should have a housewarming party. After a month of Nicole's planning, the day finally arrived. What she didn't know is Carter had other plans for the party. After all of their guests arrived, Carter asked Nicole to go in the house while he helped his mom bring in their "housewarming gift". While she waited in the house, he cleared the patio (with plenty of help) and set up vases of yellow roses in the shape of a heart. He lead her out to the patio with her eyes closed, set her in place and then released the surprise. He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She of course said yes, and this is where we are left off now......
