Rob and I first met on November 3, 2020, through what can only be described as a serendipitous accidental FaceTime. What started as a quick hello turned into a four-hour conversation that would change our lives forever. From that day on, we began growing together in love and in life.

Our first date came just 8 days later, on November 11. Nervous but excited, we took a leap, and that first meeting quickly became the start of many cherished memories. A few months later, during the infamous Dallas winter storm, Rob asked me to be his girlfriend. It wasn’t the grand plan he had in mind with friends and celebrations—Mother Nature had other ideas—but in the warmth of his apartment, snowed in together, he asked, and I said yes.

Our love deepened, and on January 19, 2021, we said, "I love you" for the first time. Those words were just the beginning of a bond that God has continued to strengthen every day since.

As many of you know, 2022 was the hardest year of our lives. We faced unimaginable heartbreak with the loss of our son, which brought tragedy and turmoil. But through God’s grace, the unwavering love of our village, and our commitment to one another, we emerged stronger. Together, we found healing, hope, and a deeper appreciation for the love we share.

On August 1, 2022, we adopted the phrase that defines our journey: "Better Together." It’s more than a motto; it’s a promise and a belief that no matter what life throws our way, we can face it side by side. It’s a bond we’ve literally etched onto our wrists and into our hearts.

Now, as we prepare to start this new chapter, we are overjoyed to share this moment with you—our village. You have supported us, prayed for us, and walked with us through every high and low. We love each other, and we love you, too. Thank you for being part of our story.
