As many of you may know our love story began in 2005 when we met as teenagers in high school. What started as young romance quickly became something special. Even at a young age there was always a connection between us that neither of us could fully explain. We spent time together, created memories, and experienced the excitement and innocence of our love. As life often does, it eventually took us down separate paths. We grew, learned, and faced different experiences while apart. Although we separated for sometime, the bond we shared never completely disappeared. Sometimes love needs time to grow and looking back now, every chapter of our journey happened the was it was supposed to. In 2016 life brought us back together again. This time things were different. We were older, wiser, and more certain about ourselves and what we wanted. The love we once shared as teenagers had matured into something stronger, a relationship built on friendship, loyalty, understanding, and unconditional love. Reconnecting felt natural, like finding our way back home to each other. Since then we have built a beautiful life together filled with love, laughter, growth and countless memories. Together we have been blessed to have this amazing family of eight, including our six wonderful children who have made our family complete and brought even more meaning to our lives. Through every season-the good times, the hard times, the lessons, and the victories- we have continued to stand beside one another and choose each other every single day. Now as we celebrate ten years of marriage we are excited to renew our vows and celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people we love the most.
