We met in 2014 at CSU Channel Islands when we were just 18 years old, stepping into adulthood and not knowing how much our lives were about to change. What started as a simple connection grew into something deeper as we spent our college years falling in love throughout Ventura County. Between the pressures of classes, exams, and figuring out our futures, we also created endless fun, by volunteering, spending time at the beach, supporting our teams, and hanging out with friends who became lifelong family. We bonded over our shared love for sports, the beach, music, and, most importantly, family. Those early years built the foundation of the life we are creating today.

Our relationship has been shaped by both beautiful and challenging moments. After Geo's accident, our love grew stronger in ways we never imagined. It showed us that love is not only about the easy days, but about standing beside each other through the hard ones. We learned that together we can overcome anything, and that even in the most trying times, love can bring strength, patience, and hope.

We also spent years navigating long distance between Sacramento and Los Angeles. It wasn't always easy, but it taught us commitment, trust, and the importance of choosing each other every single day.

Since Geo's accident, traveling has become one of our greatest joys. We've explored new places and created unforgettable memories together, from visiting El Salvador and seeing volcanoes, to relaxing in Isla Mujeres in Mexico. Adventuring through Bend, Boise, Twin Falls, Seattle, Phoenix,Sedona, Miami, The Keys , Lake Tahoe, Point Reyes , San Francisco ,Chicago, Santa Fe , and Albuquerque. We've also fallen in love with visiting national parks, slowing down, and appreciating the beauty around us. These trips remind us how precious life is and how grateful we are to share it side by side.

In 2022, we took another big step and moved in together in Sacramento. This has been filled with love, resilience, and new beginnings. We love the simple moments too-going on walks around our neighborhood, dreaming about the future, and continuing to support each other every day, especially as Geo works through therapy. Through it all, we've been endlessly grateful for our community, the people who have stood with us, loved us, and lifted us up throughout the years.

On May 17, 2024, we got engaged at a Luke Combs concert to one of our favorite songs. We don't have any physical evidence of that moment, but what we do have is a lasting memory of our lives entering a new chapter while a sold-out crowd sang around us. It was imperfect, unforgettable, and completely us.

Our story is one of growth, faith, and choosing each other through every season. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most.
