Steven & I had met through family friends that would get together every fourth of July to celebrate. When it came to Sophomore year of high school, we both took a Spanish class. However, it ended up that his school, Allen, did not have a Spanish teacher. So, they did it online with my Spanish teacher at Laurel. Since we had met before, Steven had reached out to ask for help on some of his homework. And it just escalated from there!

We started dating on June 5, 2017.

We went on to college at Wayne State where we both lived in the same dorm and walked to classes together.

When Freshman year was over, we moved to our first apartment with one of Steven's classmates. Since Sophomore year of college, Steven and I have moved two more times. Both times living on our own and eventually adding a fur baby in the mix!

Now, Steven and I are living in Wakefield, Ne with our Yorkie Oliver. Steven went through the police academy in April of 2023 and graduated in August. Right after, he started working for Dixon County and also started their first SRO program. He is loved by many little ones!

I am working at Rainbow World as the Lead Nursery Teacher and I couldn't love it more! We both plan to graduate college in December...a week after our wedding!

Our life has been quite chaotic in the last 7 years we've been together but we wouldn't want it any other way!

Q + A coming soon!
