Our Story

First date

Picture of First date
Our first date was at the beach in Port Aransas ๐ŸŒ… we had an instant and very strong connection that became so much stronger once we met in person. We had been talking over the phone every single day for weeks/months because Covid had just started taking over everyoneโ€™s lives. He lived in Kerrville and I lived in Austin, about 2 hours apart. I would drive up to Kerrville almost every week to see him. We both loved the beach and wanted to meet each other so badly we thought weโ€™d make a trip of it because we just HAD to meet! Our connection even over the phone was so strong. We have been joined at the hip ever since, even after over four years together ๐Ÿ’•

We always love showing our families around town and the beautiful local nature spots we frequent when they come and see us. This was the first time Joshโ€™s dad, David, met my grandparents Darcy and Ernie while they were visiting us in Kerrville 2021.

In early December of 2021 we had Darcy and Ernie over to our apartment in Kerrville to make ginger bread houses and eat some warm homemade soup ๐Ÿฒ

My mama, Kebana, passed June of 2021 that year so we werenโ€™t celebrating Christmas as usual but we made sure to spend time together. Spending time with the ones you love is the most important โค๏ธ
