How We Met

01.17.21

We met at the gym during one of our early 5:30am workout sessions. Neither of us was dressed to impress—sweat, sleepy eyes, and all—but somehow, there was something real from the start. The attraction was immediate, honest, and unfiltered. For weeks, we exchanged awkward hellos in passing. We never worked out together, but we always seemed to show up at the same time, like clockwork. One dark morning, I noticed him watching me walk to my car. I saw him notice me, noticing him—and in that moment, I knew we had to get to know each other. Or maybe it was the day he quietly handed me a pair of workout gloves after seeing I didn’t have any. That small gesture said more than words could. Finally, one day, he simply said, “We should do lunch,” and walked away. Since then, it’s been two years of never-ending lunches, laughter, and love. We're still at the same gym, and now, we work out side by side—stronger together, in every way.

The Proposal

7.2.23

On the day of our daughter’s gender reveal, Will gave a heartwarming speech—right there in the rain. The excitement of the day was already overwhelming, but everything changed in an instant when I looked over and saw him down on one knee. Our family knew what was happening before I could even process it. I was completely shocked… so much so, I didn’t even know which finger the ring was supposed to go on—LOL! But saying “yes” was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. Now, we’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with all of you!
