In 2016 Mikey and his buddies Jack Nelson and Nick Pogue (now groomsmen) made the life changing and ever so spontaneous decision to move out to Grand Junction and attend Colorado Mesa University. Once the three of them were settled into their tiny two bedroom apartment and classes has started, so did the gym routine for Jack and Mikey. Every day it was pre-workout, an xbox game of NHL and then head over to the gym. Makenna and Kacie Jay (now bridesmaid) had also had a daily gym, dinner and reality TV show routine. There was one night both sets of friends had been at the gym. Kacie pointed out Mikey to Makenna stating, "that is your dream guy right there" and once Makenna laid eyes on Mikey she knew in her heart that he was meant for her. As cheesy as that sounds it was true. Makenna watched Mikey at the gym from afar for about a week while she tried to conjure up the courage to go talk to him in person...this never happened. Kacie had come across Mikey's tinder profile which is a dating app and Makenna knew immediately what she needed to do, create a Tinder . So she did and within a few swipes she came upon his glorious profile and the matched immediately. It took some coaxing form Kacie (thanks Kacie) to reach out to Mikey but Makenna finally did and it was an instant connection. Mikey picked up Makenna from Kacie's house for their first date, at Graff Dairy for shakes. Their second date was a dangerous hike that turned into their first kiss in the sunshine. Ever since then they have traveled, laughed, loved, biked, camped and grown together. Mikey and Makenna are so excited to be able to continue life's adventures as one.
