We actually attended the same high school and participated in the same sports teams. We maybe exchanged a few words in passing through the halls or at swim meets.

Browsing one night on Facebook I noticed a photo Andy posted of him and his dog on his lap and I commented “ try being pregnant with 2 pit bulls on your lap.” Little did I know that comment would spark a conversation with lead to a first date. One month later we officially started dating and the rest fell into place. The best part, he not only fell in love with me, but also my son.

The first time Andy actually hinted marriage was right before Christmas of 2022. We were at the mall getting things for Beckham and asked if I wanted to look in Kay Jewelers. We looked for the designer I knew I wanted and I found a ring I really loved. I walked over to the arcade center with Beckham while Andy stayed behind to ‘look for a Christmas gift’. He did not purpose on Christmas. We went to a party on New Year’s Eve and my best friend kept filming me during and after the countdown and then suddenly Andy got down on one knee and smiled! Of course I said yes, which brings us here now!
