Our story didn't begin until our 20s. Even with having mutual friends and working at Jet's Pizza together, we didn't connect until Gabe dropped subtle hints to me online that he wanted to take me out. In 2015, I invited Gabe to a Halloween party and it all started from there...

I was of course cautious when we first got together because I thought Gabe was a complete ladies' man. I mean I've had a slight crush on him since I was 16 to be honest. Little did I know, he was slightly nervous which I found adorable, he charmed me with his witty jokes, and tried hard to impress me. That Halloween night, he asked me if I was a cow (I was Cruella Devil) and he was a piece of bacon with a name tag that read "Hello My Name is Kevin," how charming and witty. Our second date was a movie night, he nearly caused a fire in his parent's kitchen while trying to make us popcorn, very impressive. He will probably deny this but he was so nervous that I ended up kissing him first. A month later after that Halloween night, I told myself I was going to marry him.

Eight years later and here we are today. We have grown so much, in our own way and together, learning how to adapt to each other's traits when we moved in together. We are raising three beautiful children, Anastasia, Camille, and Kaiden.
