We first met when we were both living in Boise in 2018. We both ended up moving a few months later - Lyndsey to Moscow, Idaho, and Drew to McCall, Idaho. We kept in touch and Lyndsey moved back to her hometown, Idaho Falls, Idaho in 2019. Lyndsey visited Drew in early March 2020. Later that week, the world was shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lyndsey made a trip to McCall at least once a month until August when she was able to begin working from home. This gave us the opportunity to extend our weekend visits to week/month-long visits. Once Lyndsey received the notification that she was to return to work in the office in June 2021, we were faced with the decision that we would either continue long distance, or one of us would have to make a big move. Drew was gracious enough to leave his job in McCall and move to Idaho Falls in September 2021. He moved in with Lyndsey and her 3 animals, Taykah the cat, and Ouli and Arden the rabbits. Drew has always been a supportive partner and loves the animals as his own. From the moment we began dating, there was no doubt in our minds that we were each other's person. Drew brought up the idea of marriage, while driving on a trip to McCall in July 2022, and suggested a date in March and then a honeymoon in Greece in 2024. A month later, we announced our engagement. Drew is currently expanding his education in his career as an HVAC technician. Lyndsey has been slowly working towards finishing her bachelor's in Environmental Science. When we are not buried in school work or working, we like to spend our time fishing and hiking around the vast nature we have in Eastern Idaho, where we are only 2 hours away from Yellowstone and Jackson, Wyoming.
