We are finally making this official!!

Our story began in summer of 2019 with a simple conversation on a dating website—something that felt ordinary at the time, but would soon become everything. Later that summer, August 28th to be exact, we officially met at a Sod Poodles game, and from that moment on, something just clicked. What started as friends hanging out and getting to know each other and it quickly turned into something so much more meaningful. By August 8, 2020, we made our relationship official—and I’ve been grateful every day since. I’ve never met anyone who can make me laugh the way he does, who can keep up with me in every sense, and who shares the same values—especially when it comes to parenting. We don’t really “fight”—and yes, that still surprises me too. What we do have is this playful, constant back-and-forth that might look like we’re giving each other a hard time, but it’s just our way of loving each other. It’s fun, it’s real, and it’s ours. Of course, we’re not perfect—there are moments when we get on each other’s nerves (he’d probably say especially when I’m going 100 mph first thing in the morning), but even then, there’s patience, understanding, and so much love underneath it all. Even with a 10-year age gap, you’d never know—mostly because Jarred tends to act like an old man anyway. Along the way, we discovered a shared love for cruising, thanks to my best friend Jennifer and her husband. We’ve made so many memories traveling together—with friends and family—but one trip will always stand out. In June 2025, surrounded by his mom, stepdad, and all of our kids, he completely surprised me and asked me to spend forever with him. I was caught completely off guard… and of course, I said YES! Now, we’re counting down the days until we can start this next chapter—so excited to celebrate our love with all of the people who mean the most to us.
