The second attempt at our love was in August of 2017.

We had a HUGE blow out over us one night in the middle of the night, in the driveway, walking back from the corner gas station. It felt like one of the Notebook fights. But it felt right.

We choose one another for we never really stopped choosing the other. We decided this was it. We are doing this or we are not.

In 2017, I packed all my stuff and he came like a knight in shining armor to take me home to Illinois. The next 5 years was spent in Illinois. Making and breaking. Struggling and striving next to one another. We have been in good ups and severe downs. But love conquers all in the end.

We needed to make a strategic move and the opportunity to relocate for his work was the ticket we needed. I support him in everything he does and says. This was the opportunity we needed.

So, August of 2022, on our 5 year anniversary, we moved into our rental home in Texas. The start of a new was once again upon us.

Almost one year later, we were signing on our home and moving yet once more.

Our 6 year anniversary, we had our lives placed in our permanent home here in Texas.

Even though the conversation of marriage over the course of 7 years has been a very open conversation with us, we wanted to complete other things in life before we made that final leap. Now that we have accomplished all we wanted to up to this point in our lives, it was finally time.

We thank you for your generous gift!
