It is our wedding.

Imagine, a 17 year old small town Oklahoma girl with dreams of being a famous pastry chef and a boy who took a cooking class in high school and that is what led to us meeting and falling in love. I moved to Chicago a week after I graduated high school and I was so excited to start school at Le Cordon Bleu. I had always dreamed of going there because of Julia Child and there was one 2 hours from my family or 900 miles and I’m sure you’re asking, why the one so far? Well the answer is simple, my sister was going to college at U of C and I wanted to take a risk and make myself uncomfortable. So fast forward to the day school started. I was walking into the classroom with a friend and I saw Alex sitting there looking like a whole ass snack and I turned to my friend and said, “hes going to be my boyfriend.” It took 6 weeks for us to start dating because of missed connections but once we connected, we were inseparable. It’ll be 9 years this year and I can’t wait to finally marry him. We have already lived through a lifetime of troubles and continue to stay strong for each other. Fun fact, he loved my accent and that’s why he wanted to talk to me in the first place and now I don’t have one because people would always point it out and it made me self conscious. Hehe
