We met online in June 2016. There was an instant connection and after a few messages decided to meet for dinner in downtown St. Louis. At dinner we spent hours talking about our careers, family, faith, goals and shared interest (including baseball). A couple of days later he called me and asked if I wanted to go the Cardinals game with him that weekend. As a Cardinals fein, I of course said yes. He got us amazing seats and because it was Fourth of July weekend, the game ended with a firework show. Til this day I couldn't tell you who won that game, but I won at life with snagging him as my forever partner. In December 2021, we adopted our fur baby Henry from the Humane Society; he has been the best addition to our family. On December 1, 2023 at the annual St. Clair Bar Association holiday party held at the Four Seasons, Michael took me out on the terrace for an intimate moment and popped the question. Our love story is my favorite and We cannot wait to embark on this next chapter of our lives as one.
