Like most modern day fairytales, this one started online. In an app that would give you matches from New York to California in the same swipe, my eyes fell upon Audrey, whom was to my pleasant surprise, only 2 miles away. We soon realized our paths likely crossed too many times to count. One date lead to another and soon we couldn’t spend more than an hour out of contact. We talked all night and I probably kept her up way too late for her liking. I was more sure about her than anything. The children became inseparable from the moment they met and we all fall deeper in love every day.
There were two! James took me to my favorite restaurant for our first Valentine’s Day. He proposed under candlelight with a champagne toast and the most beautiful ring... but then asked for it back. The next day he sat me, AJ, Lilli, and Brendyn down on the couch and told us to wait. He took Mila into the other room and when they can back they had the engagement ring and 3 ring pops in hand. (Mila already has hers) They told us how much they love us and that they wanted us all to be together forever. They asked us to marry them and the rest is history.
