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.

2025 was filled with fun trips, good concerts, family and lots of change. We went to Mexico with my Dad and a group of family on a cruise ship, Gabe's first cruise. Knocked a few artists off the bucket list, seeing Garth Brooks in Las Vegas (my first time there) was pretty amazing. Started building a shop....end ended the year with the next big step....and now there is going to be a wedding. Looking forward to seeing you there as we take the next step in our adventure!
