We lived on the same floor in our freshman year dorms at ASU. We were just little 18 year olds when we first met but it quickly became something special. On February 20, 2016, Nick made it official and the rest is history!

We dated all through college and graduated from ASU together in December 2018. We moved into an apartment in Downtown Phoenix and began our lives as an accountant and teacher. When Covid hit in March 2020, we decided we needed to add a dog to the family. We are both very happy that we decided to adopt Millie a.k.a. baby cow. In August 2020, we took an even bigger step and bought a house in Phoenix, Arizona!

We all (Carlonis, Dani, and Nick) went to Zoo Lights on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Everybody was so excited to go, even those of us (Dani) that were not in on the secret. We walked into the zoo and casually over to a private area. Surprise!!! "Will You Marry Me?" was written in bright white lights. Nick asked the question and of course the answer was “yes yes yes!”
