The place we met and started an amazing friendship that would blossom into a relationship. Carrmen: "When I met Dustin the first thing that stood out to me was his sarcasm. He was quick with a joke and super friendly. He definitely caught my attention." Dustin: "Introverted at first but she eventually came out of her shell. She was always down for an adventure or even just a cruise around town. Kind of like a dog. Head out the window and everything. She has a big heart and always thinks of things I never could on how to keep the romance alive."

We grew our family together making a home 🤍 Carrmen: "We planned for children but we weren't expecting the rollercoaster of emotions but I'm so happy to be co-parenting with him. He really is an amazing father." Dustin: "We planned but honestly don't think I was fully prepared but since day 1 it's been a blessing. Sure there's been some ups and downs but she's been a great mother. She's shown me a wonderful way to parent that works very well. Little man gets the full love and support he needs/wants. It's been wonderful so far. However I could do without all the diaper changes."

And our family continued to grow bigger 💖 Carrmen: "Though most of our pet friends have moved on we are so fortunate to have had them and share all the weird and funny moments with them. We continue to cherish the ones still here and look forward to more adventures." Dustin: "Couldn't really say anything different than what she said. We've had some pretty amazing fur babies and one little danger noodle."

We've had plenty of adventures and can't wait to have many more! 💙 Carrmen: We've been to a few places but my favorite might have been Virginia. I got to meet the kindest people who are nothing but understanding and will make you feel seen and appreciated. Oh, and I got to swim in the ocean for my birthday so that was pretty amazing!" Dustin: "Both Louisiana and Virginia were a blast. We made some pretty good memories in both. Virginia probably takes 1st for me due to having my little family there and spending time with a side of my family I recently started getting to know. The ocean was cool I guess. The battleship was cooler."

Obviously, the answer was yes! *insert sarcastic eye roll* On a serious note we're so happy that this is finally happening! Dustin: "Yeah.....this probably took longer than it should've. My bad......🤷‍♂️"
