We met at age 11 and grew up in the same neighborhood. We experienced “puppy love” which included long bike rides and chats at the local park. Later we became high school sweethearts and enjoyed each other’s company as our personalities and dreams began to develop. Young adult life took each of us down separate paths but God had other plans. We rekindled in 2016 and have been inseparable ever since. We have two beautiful children Xavier Jr. and Laila and we can’t wait to share our love for one another and our love and gratefulness for God with them.
