I am very artistic and love to create things from pretty much nothing. My favorite medium is painting, but I have been known to create a few sculptures. I love photography as well, especially if the thing I'm taking a picture of is extremely beautiful like my boyfriend Jethro. I am very outgoing and love to try new things. As soon as I graduated and thought of colleges, my heart said Big Sky, Montana where I spent my junior year of high school. It's partly because it has a great university, but mostly because my boyfriend lived there. My parents love to hear of my experiences and any updates I have to gush about as well. I get my love of adventure from them. I can be a bit of a perfectionist, but I try not to let that take over my life. Sometimes I can't help it though when a piece of my art is concerned.

I was born in Geneva, Switzerland to Nils and Vera Bachmann. My name was actually going to be Geneva for that reason, but my mother said that when she saw me, she said I needed a name to match my beauty. So, she gave me the name Devin which means "divine" in French and Morgan which she took from the German word for "morning". My father fell in love with my mother while he was studying art. She was a nude model then. My father has come a long way from studying art now because he is an Art professor at the University of Geneva. My mother still poses nude for students. She always said the body is an amazing and natural thing so why not make sure others understand it? I can't really argue with that logic because it makes sense to me. And so I grew up being comfortable with my body, as did my brothers and sisters. We were taught it's a natural thing and so that's what we look at it as.

I developed my parents' love of art as I grew up. I would draw and color all the time as opposed to playing with really any toys. As I got older, my technique became more refined. My parents told me that once I set my mind to something that I loved, I became unstoppable in attaining the goals I set forth. I suppose that's true because I don't remember ever failing at a goal. That was even true with what I set as goals for school.

When I turned 16, I was accepted into the foreign exchange program and got matched with a family in Big Sky, Montana. I was excited to start this new adventure! Of course, I didn't know how big of an impact it would make on my life then, but before that year was over with, I knew that the impact was probably the biggest thing that would ever happen to me in my life. The family I was paired with had two daughters, twins, named Mareike and Mehitable, or Rei and Hettie as they were called most often. The three of us became fast friends, and even after the school year was over with, we stayed in touch often. Their family became my second family and I consider them sisters as well.

That year, I also met the man of my dreams. His name is Jethro Falcon and he was absolutely handsome and such a sweet and polite guy as well. I wasn't going to look for love in any way, I was just 16, but I couldn't help but fall in love with him quickly. The first day of school, we met literally falling for each other. I was walking down the hall with Rei and Hettie when I was suddenly ran into by him. We both fell, but he managed to twist us so he would land first trying to protect me. That's when he asked me out to our first date as well. Of course, Rei and Hettie definitely encouraged me to say yes and I already knew they wouldn't let me go with just anyone. I spent probably most of my time that wasn't spent in school with him, whether it was on a date or just hanging out with friends. We went to Homecoming that year. That was completely new to me as we don't have that back in Switzerland and we also went to Junior Prom as well. At the end of the year, it was the hardest to leave him, but I knew I would miss all of my friends as well.

After going back to Switzerland to finish my schooling, it wasn't as fun as I had my Junior year. I kept in touch with the Larson twins as well as Jethro. Truthfully, it was the highlight of my week when Jethro and I would Facetime. It broke my heart when he asked me to Prom that year. He asked me early enough that I had plenty of time to plan it, but I told him the truth. I said, "I don't know if I can make it." However, it put a thought in my head and I asked my parents if it would be possible. Of course, they're amazing and said if I could find a place to stay and come up with an exact amount of money the traveling would cost me by Christmas, they would make sure to let me go. I was immediately on the phone with Rei and Hettie and they said that I was more than welcome to stay at their house while I was there. It would unfortunately be for only a week since I had school still back in Switzerland to finish, but that was a huge help. They also said that I should surprise Jethro and not tell him that I was coming, and so I did. It was hard to keep that a secret, but I did.

Christmas came around and I spent hours trying to find the perfect gift for Jethro. I wasn't expecting him to send me anything, but I wanted to make sure to send him something special to show that I did love him. I found the perfect watch and had it engraved with the word "Schätzli" on it. It's a term of endearment really and it can be translated to "My Treasure". I thought it was perfect and it's something that I thought about actually calling him, but hadn't quite yet. I thought that would be a way to start with the official nickname at least. I also got him a traditional advent calendar with Swiss chocolates in it! After I sent it, I just prayed it got to him before Christmas. I was shocked when I got a gift from him and I Facetimed him to open it in front of him.

I was in love all over again especially when I heard his dad say that he lit up like a Christmas tree when I called just then. When I unwrapped the gift, I teared up at the obvious thoughtfulness of the locket he gave me. Inside the locket was our prom picture we had taken when we attended prom the previous Spring. I still wear the locket every day and only take it off to shower and sleep. It was hard not to tell him though, even harder after seeing the gift from him, that I was coming for Prom, but I managed to keep my mouth shut about it. And just days later, he Facetimed me when he got my gift so he could open it in front of me as well. I was over the moon once again when he loved the gift and loved the nickname.

After Christmas, I kept my head in school, wanting to make sure that I did everything I needed to so I didn't screw up the trip I had planned, and also already booked my plane tickets for. I also decided that I wanted to go back to Big Sky to attend their university when I graduated. Yes, part of the reason was Jethro, but the other part of the reason was I loved Big Sky so much that I wanted to go there. I knew the university had a good art department, which helped me convince my parents that was the school I wanted to have as my top pick. That was also hard to keep from Jethro, but I wanted that to be a part of my surprise appearance. It would help the separtaion when I went back to Switzerland again be easier, I thought, as well.

Finally it was time for my trip back to Big Sky. I was completely on pins and needles the entire trip. The anticipation of seeing Jethro again was almost too much for me to bear, but thankfully, there were no delays with my flight and I even arrived early. Rei and Hettie were there to pick me up from the airport and we all squealed and hugged when we saw each other. It was still hard not to just go straight to Jethro, but I had to wait a few more hours at least. As soon as I got to the Larsons, Rei, Hettie, and I all got ready for Prom. Since I had very little time, I flew in the early afternoon of the day Prom was supposed to be. That way, I could spend as much time with Jethro as possible, which is really why I made the trip. But the three of us got ready, the twins picking out a very beautiful dress for me, after Facetiming me numerous times to figure out which dress. I sent them the money to pay them back when they found the dress, even though they said that I didn't need to. Still, they bought the dress for me to surprise Jethro. I wasn't going to have anyone pay my way for the event I was attending.

When the time came for me to surprise Jethro, I was nervous. I was at his front door, hearing the voices inside, and when I knocked on the door, after fixing the locket I had gotten from Jethro for Christmas, his brother River answered it. I rose an eyebrow when he smirked and then just yelled out, "JETHRO! YOUR DATE'S HERE!" and then closed the door, leaving me outside. I surpressed a laugh though, knowing he wanted Jethro to open the door and see me, so I just stood there, waiting for Jethro to do just that.

The look on his face was everything though, so I thanked River for doing what he did later. We took pictures and then had an amazing time at Prom. I even told him that I was accepted to Big Sky University in the Fall so I would be back before the Summer was going to be over with. And then we spent every day after prom, well, after school, together as well. I didn't want to leave again and when I did, I actually cried, hugging Jethro tightly and kissing him. I was telling him that I would be back in just a couple of months and it would go by so fast. However, I think I really was telling him that more for myself because I really didn't want to leave him again.

And so I went back home to Switzerland to finish the final weeks of my school before the Summer came. I knew I would miss my family, but I had the adventurous spirit in me where I was putting so much of my faith in my love for Jethro that it was keeping me going. And true to my word, I was back in Big Sky, Montana before the Summer ended. My parents came with this time, though. They wanted to make sure I was settled into my new home and to finally meet Jethro in person, even though they didn't tell me the last bit. I already knew though.

Thankfully, they loved Jethro from the first moment they met in person. They loved his entire family. Well, the ones they met. They never met his mother, but I haven't either. The only thing I knew is that their mother really wasn't involved with them. I never asked otherwise, even though my source was from Rei and Hettie and I believe their exact words were, "She's a bitch you never should want to meet." I'm sure if she was important to Jethro, he would make sure I would meet her if I was important to him as well. Since he never really spoke about her, I didn't think to even bring it up anyway.

After my parents returned to Switzerland, and I was back in Big Sky, at least for a year, which I hoped to stay even longer than that if things continued with Jethro the way they were, I settled into a routine. Jethro was working as a High Mountain Ranger as well as taking a few courses at the college, a couple of them actually with me too, and I got a part time job at Whitney's Photography Studio. It wasn't exactly what I wanted to do after college, but it had an artform that I loved: photography. Every free moment Jethro and I had was spent with each other. I was falling more and more in love with him. I lost my virginity to him as well that year, truly believing we would be together forever already.

Of course, the holidays came around and I went back home for Christmas. I had been trying to convince Jethro to go with me, but he was completely unsure about the trip. It made me upset, but I just smiled at him, hiding that, and said, it was alright and maybe one day he would be able to go with me. I didn't know the full reason why he was unsure, but I never pushed him to tell me. I just knew he would tell me what he thought was important enough for me to know, and I kept believing that he did just that. However, he ended up coming back to me and saying that his entire family would be going to Switzerland for Christmas and I couldn't have been happier. I let my parents know right away too and they couldn't have been more excited for it.

And so that Christmas was spent back in my home country, with my family, and the Falcons. Everything seemed perfect. I had spent the last few weeks planning things to make sure the Falcons had a traditional Swiss Christmas. Every day was something different for that holiday. Things couldn't have gone any better, but then the day before we were due to leave back to Big Sky, Jethro had a panic attack or something. Rebel and Ryot, his sisters-in-law had prevented me from going to him and when it happened and Rebel said that he hadn't had them since he was a kid. I was completely confused and after going back home right after that, he was asleep. I just ignored the feeling that he had kept a secret from me because if it was that serious, then it had to be something bad and he just wanted to protect me from it or not even think of it. I couldn't really blame him though. If it was something extremely bad, I wouldn't want to even acknowledge it myself. It broke my heart when I heard him screaming that night though. I wanted to go to him, but I stayed in my bed, just lying there, trying to send him as much love and peace as I could from where I was. I didn't get much sleep that night, but figured I could sleep on the plane anyway since it would be a long flight.

The next day, since our flight wasn't until a late afternoon flight, Jethro wanted to take me for a walk and, of course, I obliged. That's when he told me everything. I hugged him and kissed him telling him that I would be there for him and that I loved him as he cried. I couldn't believe the horror he had been through, but knew why he never said anything as well. I would want to keep that buried deep where it could never see the light of day just as he seemed to want. After returning back to my parents' home, we said our goodbyes and then headed to the airport. Of course, my parents went with us to see me off. They made sure to let the Falcons know that they were welcome any time, which made me thrilled. I shed a couple of tears saying goodbye to my parents that time and then we were back off to Big Sky, Montana. A place I was truly believing was my true home.

Jethro and I are still together now, having settled into a routine that he still shakes up from time to time with spontaneous dates and things. He's also a part of the Wild Wolves MC. He prospected to the club when he was 18, and I have never seen him as happy as he seems to be now. I love my life in Big Sky, and I do make my way back to Switzerland every other year, while my family comes the other years, for the holiday season. This last year, however, they said they may come for the summer instead since it can get very cold here in Montana, even though living by the Alps in Switzerland, they can't really complain too much. They love Big Sky just as I do, but they still believe their home is in Switzerland.
