Our story begins as many these days do, with the initial introduction courtesy of match.com. Our first date on 11/18/2022 was at a local coffee shop downtown Kalispell, Gabe and I still enjoy having our morning coffee together.

2023 was full of new adventures as we introduced each other to our hobbies and interests. Gabe joined Julie and I out on the trail with the horses and I joined him on a different type of trail with mountain biking. I showed him some of my favorite places on the Oregon Coast and he showed me parts of our state that I never would have seen. We spent time with family and friends, enjoying BBQ's, floating the river, hiking.... Falling into the next chapter of our lives together.

2024 found us taking a huge step forward, after our spring break trip with Brad to Yellowstone and some adventuring in North Dakota, we moved in. Whiskey, Onyx and I moved to Bigfork into the beautiful house that Gabe built. We continued to enjoy our hobbies and shared interests, time with friends and family.
