We met briefly before being separated by a couple states and a few thousand miles. That short period of time sparked enough interest for both of us to spend the next year getting to know each other through whatever distance or challenges that arose. Fate or luck, or a little of both, converged our paths once again in Oregon. We've spent the last few years growing in our careers and navigating life as a blended family with three teen girls and two cats. We are so excited to continue on this path of life and can't wait to celebrate our nuptials with our families this coming summer.
