Anthony and I met in during our time at Colorado State University, where we were both members of the same campus ministry group. It wasn't until our senior year that we got together. We went to see Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker together and went mini-golfing (which was definitely a date, Anthony), and we've been inseparable ever since. We've been on countless adventures together in two countries and five states, making memories that will last a lifetime. We share a love of reading, and can often be found reading and discussing books together. We also enjoy doing art together, whether painting or drawing, and we have even created a few pieces for our future home. Staying active and healthy is also important to us, and we love going to the gym and getting outdoors together. We always motivate each other to be the best we can be. After nearly four years together, we are excited to take this next step and start a new chapter in our lives!

On a trip to Las Vegas, NV on February 3, 2023, Anthony popped the question at the top of the Eiffel Tower Experience at the Paris hotel. We got to the top right at sunset, and when our maid of honor Kindra and groomsman Brandon offered to take a photo of us, I turned around and Anthony was on one knee. It was a magical moment that we will never forget. As the icing on the cake, the Bellagio fountains started going off right as I said yes, and we got to spend the rest of the weekend celebrating and spending quality time together!
