We met working at McDonald's back in 2018. In September 2018 we went to a party where it was the first time we actually hung out together outside of work. Patrick went out on a whim and asked Paige to be his girlfriend on October 6, 2018. And that was the official date of when we started dating. We both eventually left McDonald's and started working at the Kwik Trip truck stop in Plover. We then moved to Eau Claire in 2020 for Patrick to go to school and we rented our first apartment. After deciding that wasn't the right major fit for Patrick, we moved back to Stevens Point after a year and rented Paige's mom’s house. We lived there for a year and then we bought our first house together in Stevens Point in August 2022. Patrick proposed to Paige on September 1, 2023 on top of the tower on Rib Mountain.
