We can’t wait to see everyone!

Every time we talk about how we met, someone gets a laugh out of it. We met all thanks to tinder, the way a lot of people meet now. However we didn’t match with each other and start talking. Haley had matched with Michael’s roommate at the time. After realizing they’d be better as friends they hung out, which is where she’d meet Michael. After a couple of weeks Michael reached out, and we started talking. Soon after, Haley started going to see him more often. After about 6 months of hanging out and, getting to know each other, Michael finally asked Haley if she wanted to be his girlfriend. A moment neither one had expected to change their lives so much, in such a short time.

In the first year of the relationship we learned more about each other. We met each other’s family, and Braxton loved Michael from the first day they met. We started living together in a rental home, and quickly became a rock for each other. After a year in the rental home we decided to try to find a house. On December 23rd 2019, we signed the paperwork and purchased our first home. Little did we know that within couple months we’d enter quarantine. During that time we grew stronger as a couple, and found out we were expecting a baby. Two little feet turned into four, and on December 23rd 2020 we welcome Ember and Aspen into our lives.

Now after over 3 years, we’ve gotten engaged. We are excited for everyone to be able to gather and celebrate. Planning for the future we hope to have a normal and beautiful wedding. Though the saying is “first comes love, then comes marriage,” we definitely decided to mix up a few of the steps. Who needs everything in the same order every time anyway?
