On the 4th, Peyton and I had only known each other for two days and he told me he was going to Alaska the next day to fight fires, and would be gone for a month. I figured that was the end of our story. He said he wouldn't be able to talk to me while he was over there, and how are we supposed to get to know each other when we aren't able to talk? I was at the beach a few days later soaking up some sunshine with my mom, and I got a text from Peyton! I was shocked and really excited! He told me he had hiked until he had enough service to send me a text, which ended up being seven miles! At this point, I definitely knew he was the guy for me. <3 That was back in 2019, and we have loved every day together since. Our favorite memories together include going to the lake with Peyton's family, going to Tamarack at Christmas with my family, driving over to Westport to visit my mom and grampa, gaining our first nephews (Waylon and Wallace), taking a trip to Reno for Peyton's birthday, getting two precious dogs (Zoe and Eugene), gambling in Seattle the same day I bought my wedding dress, and continuing to build a life together. We are so excited to be getting married, and to celebrate our special day with all of you! XOXO
