From close friends, to best friends! Flashback to 2011, both of us were Captains of the swim team where it first started. Right away there was a fun, gentle, and adventurous connection between our young high school selves... learning how to drive, where to go to lunch, what classes to take together, and who was going to make the first move.... *Olivia cough cough was the one doing all the work* … fast forward to spring of 2012, on May 11th @ 11:11pm when AJ finally got the courage to ask Olivia to be his girlfriend... and that was when it all officially began! Then came several years of distance which did not stand a chance in dinging our relationship, fast forward a couple years to Olivia moving up north to Fairbanks to start a new change of pace with AJ in the cold! Speed up a couple years and we are back in Anchorage adding a new furry 4-legged buddy to the family and now planning a wedding during a pandemic only now to find more love, and connection there! Cheers to the past, the current, and the future memories to make! Would not change a thing, except maybe my last name...
