Travis flew 2,500 miles to visit me in New Jersey to see if TheBucketLust life could be real life

I took the 2,500 mile trip to visit Travis in Lake Tahoe, experienced one of the most epic sunrises of all times, and knew he was the man I would marry

We planned our first trip as a couple to Aruba and had the most incredible time with some of our now best friends

3 short months in and Travis casually suggested I fly to Orlando with him to meet his family. I couldn't have possibly loved them more. We even took a group photo on the last night where I thought... this will be our first family photo of many

May 5th, ironically my parent's anniversary, Travis met Rocco for the first time. I held my breath, but it couldn't have gone smoother.

Although we were living cross country, we took on our biggest challenge yet and spent 17 days exploring 6 countries. We were both sure after a seamless trip in extremely close quarters that we were perfect for one another.

It was time for Travis to meet my parents and where else but one of my favorite places - Johnny Macs! They loved him as much as I did. It was that airport drop off when Trav looked at me and said "We really are going to make it" and I had never been so sure of anything

We hosted Thanksgiving where Travis met my Sister, Kevin, and Blanton. Lots of food, drinks, and laughs leading to an overall success

We filled the next 6 months with another NYE trip, back and forth visits, and more love than I ever could have imagined. As we geared up for another 16 day 6 country European vacation I had no idea I would leave this one as Travis' fiancé

On June 23, 2023 - day 1 of our vacation - we explored Santorini with incredible views of the Caldera. As Travis set up his phone to take a photo of us he asked me to take my hair down for it. As I did that I turned back around to see an Olive Garden takeout bag (our perpetual proposal inside joke) and knew this was about to be one of the best moments of my life! Travis got down on one knee and said "I know we still have some things to figure out, but I think that we should do it together. What are you doing for the rest of your life? Will you marry me?" Easiest YES of my life.
