We met as teenagers at a mall in Illinois. I was too scared to talk to her so I brought a friend over who also thought Rachael was cute. I won her over by making her laugh and being myself. That moment will be stamped forever as the luckiest moment of my life. Although distance work separated us to think we’d never meet again, fate had another plan. Almost a decade later we have 2 very gorgeous girls and a lifetime of memories ahead of us.
