Our paths crossed multiple times while attending Winona State University. Several of those interactions were because of the Education Program, and helped us meet in the first place, back in 2015. We can't help but believe that our love and passion for teaching made our story possible. After Nick graduated, we went our separate ways, wondering what could have been... About 6 months later, in December of 2017, we started dating. We did long distance for about a year and a half, before moving into our first home in McHenry, Illinois. In the spring of 2021, we made a life changing decision when we added our dog Lucy, to the family and purchased our first home in Crystal Lake, Illinois. On October, 8th, 2022 Nick put a plan into motion to propose to Summer at Richardson's Corn Maze.
