Our Wedding

In 2014 I was on the verge of moving back home after graduating college while in transition trying to find a job. 1 week before moving&nbsp;I got the call for a job as a temporary worker at MillerCoors as a microbiologist. I remember meeting Ben, who was in charge of my training, on my first day thinking he was SO smart and knew so much about beer, it was seriously intimidating. But our discovery of our mutual weirdness led to a fast friendship and the most fun I've ever had at a job. It was clear we were meant to be more than friends. We began officially dating the exact day I left my job at Miller for graduate school.

Since, our lives have been crazy and chaotic and perfect (and filled with animals!). We've been on so many adventures together, highlights including Duluth Minnesota and the Lake Superior North Shore, Porcupine Mountains, Devil's Lake, Chicago, South Dakota, and of course Iceland! Now two years later we are engaged! I was clearly always meant to take that job at Miller for one reason and that's because it brought me to Ben. Crazy how life works like that! I can't wait for a lifetime of even more adventures together &lt;3

How We Met

The engagement was in true Ben fashion- with a puppy! It all started with a joke a few months back, with Ben desperately wanting another dog. I had casually mentioned that he could get another dog if I could get a ring....

 Fast forward to a couple months later, we were running errands and Ben ran into Pet Smart while I was in another store. After I finished, I walked over to meet Ben and ran into him in the parking lot frantically waving me into the store. He hadn't even made it past the front of the store where they were hosting puppies from the Elmbrook Humane Society. There was a sweet little hound puppy fast asleep on the floor and Ben gave me big, puppy dog eyes, and I couldn't resist. She was so adorable and sweet (though we now know better!!). And a few hours later we left with a puppy! Her name is Khali (short for Khaleesi, Game of Thrones nerd for the win!). 

Ben had said he wanted to take the puppy over to his mom's to show her and his sister, and when we got there everyone started herding us to the backyard to take pictures with the puppy. Seemed completely normal to me, so I went along with it. I turned around to pose with Khali and saw Ben down on his knee! Apparently I had passed his final test by letting him get a puppy (haha!). But of course I said yes. He had had the ring already, but wasn't planning on popping the question that day, but the puppy presented a perfect moment that couldn't be passed up. So a dog and a ring all in one day... perfect and completely fitting for us!
