In the halls of Putnam County High School back in 2016, we noticed each other for the first time, introduced by a mutual friend. Little did we know, nine short years later, we would end up marrying. Our early days were filled with skipped cheer practices and rides in Tristen's obnoxiously loud red truck. After Tristen graduated in 2018, we didn't see much of each other until the summer of 2021, when we both ended up at the same house party. We spent the rest of the night catching up after years apart. The months of trying long distance made it clear how much happier we were together than apart, so Maddy and Nova (one of the dogs) packed up and moved to Kansas City to be with Tristen! From there, the rest is history and brings us to where we are today. Somewhere along the way, we became best friends, fell in love, and decided to do this crazy thing called life together! In 2022, we adopted another dog together, named Verse, and our little family has been complete since then!
