We met in 2020 during our first tour in the Coast Guard, serving together at the Ceremonial Honor Guard in Alexandria, Virginia. Between long days, multiple roles, and plenty of travel missions, we became close friends, and it didn’t take long for that friendship to turn into something more. Not long after we started dating, we welcomed a third (very important) member into our relationship: our first pet and best friend, Georgie. Almost a year later, we decided our little family needed a fourth member - Milo! another puppy who quickly made life even louder and fun. With seven moves during our service, we learned to turn every new place into a home. From Coast Guard routines to adapting to new careers and life chapters, we faced every change side by side. Through it all, our love and our team, has only grown stronger.
