We met each other at Martin Luther College in the fall of 2021. Yet it wasn't until the last few months of our senior year that we started dating. We ended up at the same public school for the first 6 weeks of student teaching so we spent a lot of time together. The students that we taught were constantly inquiring as to why Mr. Habben had not made a move on Ms. Kettler yet.

It wasn't until we both moved to Wisconsin for our private school student teaching that we decided to get together to go on a date.

Sheldon was student teaching at Lakeside and Izzy was at Wisco so we were not very far from each other. We went out to dinner on March 4th 2023. That night, Sheldon asked Izzy to be his girlfriend.

We finished student teaching and graduated in May. Our summer was filled with figuring out new housing and teaching positions as well as traveling to see each other.

In July, Izzy moved to Miami and Sheldon moved to Minocqua. For the next 4.5 months, we spent basically every day Facetiming each other after a full day of teaching. We were counting down the days that we would see each other again.

November 21, as we were watching the sunrise in Miami, Sheldon proposed. Over the next few months, both of our families made the final touches on wedding planning.

We are excited to spend the best day of our lives with those that are closest to us.
