We met at Blessed Sacrament in 6th grade.

We chose perfect timing to start dating... the day of graduation when Shelby was going to Bemidji State and Ethan staying in town at UWL.

We spent lots of time facetiming during our long distance until Shelby decided to transfer to UWL.

COVID kicking us out of the dorms and with school going online, we were able to spend a lot of time together.

Shelby graduated from UWL with her Exercise and Sport Science degree in pursuit of her Physical Therapy degree.

Ethan worked and trained in Boulder, CO for the summer while Shelby continued her graduate degree at La Crosse. This gave Shelby an excuse to travel during her break.

Shelby was able to travel around the US to support Ethan throughout his college running career.

2 years later Ethan FINALLY graduated with a degree in Sociology where he enjoyed running more than studying.

We got to spend the summer exploring together in Arizona during Shelbys first clinical.

After a fun summer exploring Ethan moved to Michigan to continue to pursue his running career with Hansons-Brooks ODP and Shelby moved to Woodland Park, CO for her second clinical.

Thanksgiving day was extra special this year where Ethan surprised Shelby with a proposal.

Shelby Graduated from UWL with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy where she will work at Corewell Health in Royal Oak, MI
