We started as coworkers, spending long days working side by side; coffee runs, late nights connecting, and drives filled with singing along. There was an energy between us we couldn’t ignore, something steady and electric all at once. We kept showing up for each other, and the pull between us only grew. What began as a job became the start of our story; one built on shared ambition, real connection, and something we never saw coming.

One of our favorite memories is that backpacking trip where we got lost after going off-trail; Todd fell in the river (quick rescue!), and somehow, like always, we found our way back. It felt like our love story: a little chaotic, full of heart, and always leading us home. That night, we danced under the stars by the fire, sore, tired, and totally at peace; just us, the wild, and a feeling we’ll never forget.

We’d finally bring our long-time dream to life: turning a fixer-upper into our forever home. From paint-stained weekends to building out a space that reflects us, we’d use this to create something lasting. With a wedding on the horizon and plans to grow our family, this would be more than money; it’d be the foundation for a life full of love, adventure, and everything ahead of us.
