Our story started in December 2022. We matched on a christian dating website called Upward. We both truly appreciated what are profiles represented and wanted to start a friendship right away. We spent the month of January taking the time to get to know one another. We talked about our faith, family, friends, our jobs, hobbies, and favourite things in life. We shortly discovered all the little connections we had between Three Hills and McBride.
On February 4, 2023 we finally were able to meet each other. Our first date was at West Edmonton Mall. Here we were able to spend quality time laughing and enjoying all the awkward little moments shared between us. We played bowling, mini golfing (Kenzie won by one lol)(Noah likes to think he let her win haha)(date one our competitive sides were already coming out) enjoyed the water park, amusement park and even dinner and a show where we got to see The Office the Musical. We both knew then that this was going to be a first date to remember.
We continued to grow in our relationship and on April 12, 2023 we officially started dating. Noah asked while we were at the Keim family farm.
Throughout the months to follow we got to learn how to love one another growing in our faiths and our relationship with each other. We also had lots of fun going on hikes, renovating Kenzie's house, having picnics, going to the Stampede, boating, travelling to Ontario, hiking up mountain tops, going to the Morgan Wallen concert, celebrating birthdays and to top it all off going to Hawaii.
Hawaii is a very special place to the both of us. Kenzie did the Kokua Crew program in the summer and winter of 2019. Noah started his DTS in January 2020. (we missed each other by 2 weeks) God did great things while we were both there, so Hawaii has a special place is our hearts. This past December we had the opportunity to go back with some great friends! It was so wonderful to get to shares the memories together while making new ones!
On December 19, 2023 Noah got down on one knee and asked Kenzie to marry him. With zero hesitation Kenzie said YES! Noah planned the most beautiful dinner for the both of us! The restaurant was ocean view with the most delicious food. We are so blessed and thankful that Abby was on the trip with us. She was the one to capture all of the beautiful moments of us!
We are so thankful for our families for always supporting us and shaping us into the man and woman that we are! All praise to God for being with us every step of the way!
