Our story started long before we ever started dating. We went to different middle schools, but still knew of each other growing up. It wasn’t until high school that we actually became friends, although Trevor will admit he spent most of that time trying to work up the courage to make it more than that.

We officially started dating during our junior year of high school and stayed together through senior year. Like most high school relationships, ours came with plenty of ups and downs. We liked each other a lot… but there were definitely days we couldn’t stand each other too. Looking back, those years taught us how to grow together, how to be patient, and how to laugh even when things didn’t go perfectly.

After graduation, we went our separate ways for college, but we never completely lost touch. During that time apart, Trevor realized just how much Karissa meant to him. The thought of not ending up together never really felt right, and it became clear that what we had in high school was only the beginning of our story.

After college, we found our way back to each other and started dating again, this time with a lot more certainty about what we wanted. We made long distance work, supported each other through new jobs, moves, and life changes, and kept building the kind of relationship we had both hoped for all along.

In August, Trevor proposed in Glacier National Park in Montana, surrounded by mountains, fresh air, and one not so patiently waiting Karissa.

We can’t wait to celebrate this next step with all of the people who have been part of our story along the way.
