Where do we begin....

Steven and I met when we were little, as he was cousins with my neighbor. And, as he would say, has always had a crush on me. It wasn't until after college that we finally got together, even though he tried in high school. I have a Facebook message from him from 2010 that says he is going to marry me in 8 years. He's a little late, and although I hate to admit he's right, here we are.

It was a nice September night in 2021 when our paths aligned again and our life together started. He took me on our first date to Sakura, my favorite restaurant, and I've been hooked on him ever since. So many dates going to sports events (go Phils), golfing and so much fun we have had. After just about a year of dating, we had the best surprise of our lives, our baby girl Charlotte Avery and our life changed for the better.

2022 was our year where everything you think could happen, did. In February we welcomed our fur child Chooch into our lives. Shortly after that, our beautiful Charlotte Avery was born in May, and worlds were turned upside down. After 8 unsuccessful offers and looking for over a year, we finally bought our house in September and moved in in October. What else could happen we've done it all, so I thought. Finally, Steven popped the question Christmas morning. It has been the best year yet and I can't wait to see you all to help celebrate the start of our forever.
