Joel and Savannah met at the Silverton Christmas Tree Lighting in 2010. They were friends in high school but lost touch when Savannah moved away.

They reconnected in the fall of 2017. After going out on a very fun first date on Halloween, Savannah promptly moved to Europe, to the disappointment of Joel.

Fate brought them back together in the spring of 2018 when Savannah moved back to Oregon and Joel made an effort to casually bump into her as much as possible. The two started dating that spring and were soon inseparable.

After 3 years of commuting from Silverton to Portland to see each other; Savannah asked if Joel wanted to move in together. Luckily Joel was all in, and the two bought a house in Keizer and got to work remodeling it.

Savannah and Joel have adopted a cat (Ella) and a dog (Opal) and have been by each others sides through many of lives big changes and events. They are excited for this next step in their relationship and are looking forward to the adventure that awaits them!
