Our story began in 2011 at St. Hilary’s youth group, where we first met as high schoolers. Back then, we were just friends—both a little goofy, both figuring out who we were. It wasn’t love at first sight, but something better: a connection that grew stronger over time.

We stayed close after high school, supporting each other through heartbreaks, healing, and all the messiness in between. We never judged—just listened, laughed, and kept showing up for each other. Over the years, that friendship quietly became the foundation for something much deeper.

In 2022, after over a decade of friendship, Josh made the first move. And not long after, life surprised us in the best possible way. In 2023, we welcomed our beautiful daughter, Bailey. She wasn’t part of a plan—but she instantly became the heart of everything. Becoming parents brought us even closer, as we learned how to work together, grow together, and build a life as a true team. Josh dove in headfirst, and every day he shows what an incredible father and partner he truly is.

Now, with nearly three years of love and a lifetime of friendship behind us, we can’t wait to take this next step—together, with Bailey by our side.
