On May 4th, 2021 Teemu sent me a message on Instagram saying "Hey Payton! :)" My thought was like "How does this guy know me?" But I still responded back and said Hey! We talked for weeks until he drove 14 hours from Toronto, Canada to Minnesota to finally meet in person. Quite honestly I was not sure if Teemu was a nickname or if that was his real name so I waited until we met in person till I finally asked. LOL. We hit it off right away and spent the next 3 months together until he went back to Canada. I have now traveled with him from Canada, to Finland and currently Sweden. Our love only grows as we continue to do long distance... and also live together when I visit or when he is home! We are excited for this next chapter together getting married and for all the travels and adventures ahead!
