Our love story began in a time of uncertainty. Despite both growing up in the Wenatchee Valley, our paths wouldn't cross until the pandemic would necessitate Brandon briefly moving back to our hometown in March 2020. In October 2020, we found each other on Tinder and immediately bonded over a shared love of Halloween and spooky things. From our first date carving pumpkins and listening to Scared to Death podcast to hunting ghosts in a haunted hospital, we have built a beautifully dark life together. He proposed to me on the Winter Solstice, after making the day before a magical evening. We started the day with a screening of Wicked and lunch at our favorite barbecue restaurant before we went to the haunted St. Ignatius Hospital.
