Senior Prom! We met the December before this thanks to a mutual friend (thank you, Broden!)
College kids! Thankfully we both decided on going to Iowa State before we met. We are glad it worked out!
Our first trip of many to Colorado. This was at Garden of the Gods. We also went to Pike's Peak during this trip and quickly learned we both get motion sick...
Brooke grew up going to Table Rock Lake with her family so it was special when Ryan got to come!
Graduation! Those 4 years flew by! We moved to Coralville, Iowa that summer.
Norway! Ryan got to meet all of Brooke's Norwegian family in Norway. He spoke great Norwegian :)
Mexico! Brooke has the travel bug and Ryan dutifully follows her around the world. Do you like our hats?
She said yes! Ryan proposed on a hike in Kauai, Hawaii. It was pouring rain and we hiked in the mud! Both very happy and excited to get married!
We can't leave out the main characters in our little family! Tiny (left, adopted in 2020) and Winnie (right, adopted in 2023) are our very beloved cats that have their own room at our house. You may see giant cardboard cutouts of them at the wedding...
Brooke started PA school at Iowa this fall and will graduate in 2028. Ryan works at Tidewater Direct in West Branch, Iowa. Brooke still doesn't completely understand what he does for work but she is happy that he is happy :)
