We're best friends who love laughing together, usually by using silly voices and quoting our favorite comedians. Our ideal Sunday morning consists of french press coffee and homemade Belgian Waffles. Since we started dating, we have been together almost every day chasing things that make us joyful, like traveling or watching The Office on repeat.
Everyday actions build a legacy of love: the way we talk to each other, serve one another, and look for contentment in the little moments. Extraordinary love is when you look at your spouse and feel at home. We want our legacy to be something that lives on in our children and grandchildren - something they look up to and say, "Dang, I want what they have!"
Popcorn is my go-to snack (and at times a quick and easy meal).
If you're coming to visit any time after 6:00pm, don't be surprised if I'm already in my pajamas!
Even if I can't finish my meal, I'll always have room for dessert!
Sitting on a beach, soaking in the sun while reading a good book is my happy place.
I order the same meal and drink every time we eat at our favorite restaurant.
My music taste has diversified since High School, but Taylor Swift will always be my girl.
I love iced coffee so much that I drink it even when it's -30 degrees.
I like a clean and comfortable look, so thermal shirts and plain T's are basically my entire wardrobe.
Autumn is my happy place: crisp temperatures, earthy smells, and brilliant colors.
As a kid, I wanted to be a cowboy when I grew up and I wore cowboy boots and a red cowboy hat everywhere.
Nothing says productivity like wearing a pair of jeans. I'm basically useless in my PJ's.
I often save the last bite of my meal to eat after dessert.

Same old coffee, new found memories
Watching the new Office Superfan episodes, drinking lots of coffee, and spending time loving and serving each other.
Extraordinary love is going out for ice cream, holding hands, and kissing in public. It’s sharing your dreams and passions with one another, teasing and tickling, and doing the dishes for each other. It’s asking questions about one another, listening and supporting one another, and taking time to look at one another for the sake of feeling seen. Extraordinary love chooses not to settle but to pursue more intimacy, more understanding, and more oneness together.
