The start to our relationship was, unexpected to say the least. One day, I was helping a friend take down a fence in their backyard. It was an all day event and to top it off, it rained for most of the day . After we finished with the fence I went inside to wash up. Gracie and I passed on the stairs and we exchanged “hellos”. The rest is history. We spent the whole night talking to each other, discovering our shared interests and values. It was clear from the start that we had a special connection.

Our second date though, was unforgettable- I was carjacked at gunpoint, right outside Gracie’s apartment. From then on, naturally, our relationship grew stronger every day. We went on adventures together, supported each other through tough times, and celebrated all of lifes joys as a team.

I truly believe that meeting Gracie was fate, and I am so grateful for every moment we have shared together. I cant wait to see where our journey takes us next, and I know that as long as we are together, anything is possible.

So heres to love, to friendship, and to all of the unexpected twists and turns that life throws our way. Cheers!!!!
