Our paths crossed years ago as Rick coached Amy’s son Jake, but it wasn’t until late 2018 that we truly connected. Our first date was in February 2019, and just a few weeks later, we found ourselves at our first local concert together — bonding over smooth ‘70s rock, a KISS T-shirt, and that unmistakable feeling of this just fits.

By summer, it was official. Our shared love of Faith, family, music, football, nature, and grandkids made it feel like we had known each other forever. From tailgates to powerlifting meets, national parks to catching our favorite local bands, we’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and incredible memories.

Now, we’re beyond excited to celebrate our next chapter with the people who’ve been part of the story all along.
