It was quick, but joy and peace overflowed from the get-go. I had no doubt he was the next right thing on my journey. I was looking forward to the high moments and everyday life together. Right off the bat, it stood out that he was authentically himself (and honest about what he is growing in). He's fun, loving, chill, trustworthy, respectful, and wise. Brad's faith has strengthened mine, and I quickly realized that what matters most to us in life aligned. Since stepping into marriage on October 6, 2023, the focus, communication, and harmony have been an ongoing blessing. I can't forget to mention the bonus of being a dog mom to our fluffy girl, Luna. With our family, every day makes me thankful for our lives now and excited about what is to come.

When you know you know. After my first date with Alicia I had a feeling she was the woman for me. The breeze, the dolphins in the river, and of course her ordering steak, all felt like a sign. The night felt like it would never end but like it ended too soon! I had to see her again and the more I knew her the more sure I became she was the one for me. The life, joy, and love she brings to each moment is something I will never let go of, and what makes me excited for our lives to come!
