We met on a snowy day in February, where Landen sent me a simple message saying “hey,” and that began our start to a journey towards forever. We talked, laughed and connected from the first day. We decided to meet three weeks later at his house, on my way back to school. We were sure from that moment that we were right for each other. More time passed and we continued to talk, we met each others families and friends. Time after that we started to date. Soon after that I had to move away three hours to go to nursing school for the next two years. After graduation, I moved to Brookings and we began our life together.
