Where our story began — just as friends, never knowing that friendship would grow into something so much greater.

I became Cooper’s super fan, baking him a dessert before every game for two years straight. It started as a simple tradition, but quickly became one of my favorite ways to support him.

Our first road trip to the “Windy City” — full of laughter, new adventures, and memories we still laugh about today.

I spent many weekends visiting Cooper in Duluth when he was at school

Celebrating our 3rd anniversary hiking together became one of our favorite traditions. Every year, we pick a new trail, spend the day exploring, and take time to appreciate how far we’ve come together.

We traveled to Hawaii together, and it was a trip we’ll never forget. From watching the sunsets over the ocean to exploring the island and trying new things together, every moment felt so special. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation!

At the last minute, we decided to take a trip to Arizona to visit my grandparents.

For Christmas, we got front row tickets to a Wild game. Sitting that close to the ice made the whole game so exciting, and to make it even better, we ended up on TV!

We spent 2 weeks traveling through Europe together, and it was truly an unforgettable adventure. We started in Dublin then went onto Amsterdam, Paris, and Frankfurt, Germany

On our 9 year anniversary, we drove up the North Shore stopping at Split Rock Lighthouse where Cooper proposed!
