Our journey began as high school sweethearts. Six years ago, our paths crossed. A few short conversations turned into meeting at a local coffee shop. What started as casual conversations and shared laughs slowly grew into a bond build on trust, friendship, and a genuine love for being around each other.

About a month after meeting on 12/22/19 Austin asked to make it official and start dating. What neither of us knew is almost five years later that coffee shop meeting would turn into being down on one knee half way around the world asking for forever.

Over the past six years, we've shared countless memories. Spontaneous adventures that took us from beach shores, to Colorado mountain tops, to the hot springs and black sand beaches of Iceland.

We've seen each other through graduations, living solo, becoming a first responder family, spiritual breakthroughs and finding our lord and savior Jesus Christ together. After six years of building our lives side by side, the proposal felt like a natural step.

Now, as we prepare to get married, we can't help but look back with gratitude for every step that led us here. Most of all, we're grateful for all of you; the friends and family who have supported us and watched our love grow over the years.

We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you, the people who have been part of our story from the very beginning; the people who will be needed until the very end.
