Josie finally convinced Walter to go on a date after meeting each other at North Star Classic (cattle show) in December 2020. They enjoyed a Hereford bull sale together and ventured into Fargo for supper.

First trip to Gatzke for Josie!

Junior proms for both!

Senior proms for both!

Both graduated from high school and were lucky enough to attend each other's ceremonies.

Many cattle shows together! This one at the North Dakota State Fair!

Many, many, many hours of driving between ND and MN. Sometimes together, mostly apart.

Walter proposed and the rest is history!
