We met June 8th 2019, it was opening night for Juniper Moon Tattoo shop. We talked a tiny bit that afternoon over cheese & tequila about what we did for work and the small mundane stuff. I could see all the love surrounding him and I knew I wanted to be his friend.

Bradley had made plans with my mom to drive up a few weeks later to stay the night at our house for work (so he didn’t have to get up early) I took my chance and asked him for his phone number that afternoon, and that’s where it all started, he said yes and we’ve kinda been inseparable ever since.

We never really had a first date, or a significant day that we officially became boyfriend or girlfriend, we just kinda claimed each other lol. I remember asking him if I was his girlfriend one random day in the car, I’ll never forget the expression on his face, completely shocked I would even ask such a thing, it was obviously a yes.

We lived in separate towns and had completely opposite jobs and schedules, but we made it work. We called and text every night, commuted every weekend and some weeknights for a few years until Bradley asked me to move in with him to Modesto in 2021. We saved up and we bought our first home in Oakdale in 2022. Since then, we have grown our abundance of vehicles and vegetables, raised chickens, & adopted our dog, Duck.

We love our adventures; rock crawling, to camping to whatever. After a few years, we decided to cruise to Mexico for our next big trip. That’s where Bradley popped the question. We were on an excursion to an all exclusive beach in Puerto Vallarta! We were surrounded by hammocks, clear blue water, the sunset, it was picture perfect.

Now we are celebrating 6 years of being together and planning our wedding day! We are so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support, we are grateful for everyone who has been a part of our story and we cannot wait to celebrate our big day with you!
