We met in Springfield, MO and became best friends while working together. Our friendship grew into love and then we started dating! After both getting accepted into Southern Illinois University, John and I moved to Carbondale, IL and spent the next 3 years getting our degrees.

During Covid we got blessed with our first baby! Posie is one of a kind and such a gift to us! To know her is to love her! She has the sweetest spirit and is everything we ever dreamed of in a dog. She made us a family of 3 and gives us so much joy and unconditional love that's truly unmatched!

We both graduated from SIU in 2022! John graduated with his Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene! We were so excited to be done with school and ready to start working in our fields!

After graduating from SIU, John and I moved to the charming town of Franklin, TN to start our next chapter together. We have fallen in love with Tennessee and can't wait to see what the future holds for us here!

We have went on lots of fun trips together over the last 5 years and have made so many fun memories while traveling! It's one of our favorite things to do together!

On May 20, 2023, John had a day full of surprises that led me to the ultimate surprise.. him PROPOSING!! He put so much thought into the proposal and it was truly an unforgettable and perfect day! We cannot wait to get married and become husband and wife!!
