Long distance isn't and wasn't easy. AJ and I have known each other since 2017 and first met and started dating in February 8th of 2018! AJ made multiple trips to my hometown, Wisconsin Rapids, for years until we finally moved in together. We both went to UW-Whitewater, and although I didn't graduate, AJ did! AJ got his Bachelors in Photojournalism and graduated Cum Laude! We then moved to Madison where AJ started his job as a photog at WKOW, 27 News and I am working as a shift supervisor at Starbucks working my way up in positions. We have a beautiful, personality filled, Staffordshire Terrier that we rescued in August of 2023. AJ and I have been through many obstacles, lots of times not knowing if we were going to make it, but here we are and we couldn't be happier!
