We met in the most unexpected of ways—online—but it was our shared experience as single parents that brought us together. Both of us were committed to putting our children first, and that became the foundation of our connection. What began as simple conversations about our kids and their favorite activities turned into something deeper. We quickly realized that we shared not only the joys of parenthood, but also a mutual love for family values, God, and creating a loving, supportive environment for our kids.

Though it took almost a year for him to make the first move and ask me out, I was happy to wait. Every conversation only made me more certain that he was someone special, someone whose values and heart mirrored my own.

Fast forward to the moment when our love truly took flight—on a beautiful day at the beach in Oceanside, California. Surrounded by our families and children, he asked me to be his forever. It was a perfect reflection of our journey—together as parents, as partners, and as a family, building a future founded on love and faith.

From that moment on, we knew we were meant to be, and now, we’re excited to continue our adventure together, blending our families and hearts as we walk into this next chapter of life.
