Our story is one guided by faith and the Lord's lesson of patience. We met online at CatholicMatch.com. At the time we met, Jesse was deployed in Guantanamo Bay with the Army National Guard and was about two months from completing his assignment. Despite the distance of more than 1,900 miles, we messaged every day and enjoyed many phones calls that would last as long as two hours! After months of patiently waiting, we were excited to finally meet for the first time! Jesse was a true gentleman, arriving with a bouquet of flowers, and Ashley was the first to take his hand that night as they walked. Thirteen hours of laughter, smiles and story telling captured our hearts and we knew our lives would never be the same. Every day since has been an adventure! Jesse proposed on the Uros Islands of Lake Titicaca in Peru as the morning sun hit the lake. We continuously pray to the Lord to continue His blessings and thank Him for bringing us together. He taught us patience and we were the other's reward. Here's to a lifetime of adventures!
