Our Wedding

Boneless Mango Habanero Wings 

It was a cold winter day, sometime in November 2012. My best friend, Julie Chintis (Bridesmaid), and I were working at Buffalo Wild Wings. She came running to me laughing that she just told some guy that she didn’t have a cell phone when he asked for her number. I walked out to look at the table and saw a handsome guy with cowboy boots on and secretly thought, “I woulda gave that guy my number”. Fast forward a month or two, that same handsome guy came in again after work and needed a cold Coors Light. It just so happened to be a day where I was serving those refreshing Coors lights. A few Friday nights and random Tuesday evenings went on where Casey and I exchanged some flirty conversation. I definitely messed up his complicated order of boneless wings, with mango habanero and Asian zing sauce mixed together, well done and extra sauce; Eventually leading me to write down my number. It took some persistence to finally get us out on our first date but it did not disappoint.&nbsp; Our first date in October of 2013 was a solid 14 hours. We started by fishing out on the Salt River - where I caught my first fish and Casey didn’t catch anything. Then, we ventured off to the Arizona State Fair where Billy Currington was playing. That was followed by a late night snack and beer at RTO Sullivan’s. I still remember sitting at that bar top sharing our first kiss, thinking 'wow, his beard is so soft'. My car was parked at Casey’s house where Derek Hodges (Best Man) and Danny Mendoza (Officiant) were waiting for a rundown on our first date. We planned for our next date, kissed goodnight, and then both debriefed the date with our friends.&nbsp; We dated for a year, Casey progressing in his career and I finished my degree. We decided to share a roof in Gilbert, AZ about a mile from that famous Buffalo Wild Wings. We shared lots of amazing memories in that house. I passed out candy for the first time on Halloween and I ruined a coffee table with nail polish - oops! We really grew as a couple in that home, learning patterns and quirks. We did some traveling and adventuring. We gained some amazing friendships over those years. Finally, we did decided that it was time to purchase a home with a pool to bear the Arizona summers.&nbsp; We moved to Mesa, AZ over Labor Day Weekend in 2017 where we still reside today. We created a home - a safe place for us to come home everyday and love each other. My favorite part was that we created this space together. We still continue to adventure - Recently, we took a 12 hour road trip to visit Casey’s family in Yuba City, CA. We visited all the famous spots in Arizona - where we camped, fished and hiked more times than we can count. We were lucky enough to witness so many of our friends get married and start families - Real babies and fur babies.&nbsp; In 2020, the world flipped upside down. It was the hardest year we had endured as a couple. A world-wide pandemic, not leaving our house, losing our Jaxxyboy. Not knowing it at the time, Casey wanted to give me one positive thing that came out of 2020. On the very last day of this horrible year, 2020 was redeemed when Casey proposed to me in front of a few of our friends in Derek’s backyard.&nbsp; This leads us to our wedding website, where we want you, reading this, to help us celebrate our next chapter of our love story in Skull Valley, AZ on November 5th 2022.&nbsp;
