“Our love story begins at a small town rodeo. Now, we didn’t meet AT the rodeo, to be honest I didn’t even know who he was, until we met at a get together, afterwards. Some friends threw a going away party for one of our other friends, and of course some of the rodeo crowd showed up! After that night I was crushing and he definitely was too, but I was being stubborn. I finally said yes to going on a date with him and thank goodness I did because it was an instant connection and the rest is history.

It didn’t take long for us to get serious about each other. You know the one saying, “when you know, you know”? It’s true! Dating a rodeo cowboy was difficult at times, but luckily I had a job that allowed me to tag along and travel with him. Traveling together every weekend got us to knowing each other very quickly, making so many memories on the road together. Tanner proposed during his rodeo finals at the end of 2022, and 7 months later we were married! Just over a year of knowing each other feels like a lifetime already! Now, we live happily with our 3 horses and doggies and still rodeo on the weekend.”
