July 4th, 2022

After more football games and visits to Ames, Simon decided to ask Rachel on a date on June 20th, 2022 (yes, almost a year later). She had a good feeling when he suggested mini golf and ice cream. Rachel loves nothing more than some good ice cream, but she got a DQ slushie so that Simon would not witness the effects of her lactose intolerance.

This picture was taken after Simon and Rachel had gone on a few dates. Simon had just taken Rachel on a ride in his semi truck to haul pigs and she burnt her arm on the stack. Classic rookie mistake…notice the bandage in the picture. Rachel and Simon still laugh about that day.
