She is also working with her fiancé as his director of operations and personnel for his online apparel company, Thirty Seconds Out. They are keeping really busy as they've expanded into the UK and are looking at Germany for 2021. Lastly, they are getting married in September (fingers crossed) at Red Fish Lake in Stanley, Idaho.
