When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible! From the day Joseph asked me to be his girlfriend [in a 'new to me’ house covered floor to ceiling in boxes], it has been magic. We have learned so much as a couple, and as parents. Our story is quick and boring, we've known each other for years, hung out in the same group in high school even! I guess you can say we both always had a little spark of connection because something always drew us back to one another. Joseph was always there to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. He was there to help me when I could barley help myself. Hes truly my bestfriend and I would not change one piece of our story even if given the chance. The Proposal Joseph proposed under the stars and the beautiful bright light of the Blood Lunar Eclipse, in the front yard of our very first house. it was a magical moment and I know without a doubt this is exactly where we are meant to be in our life. The Elopement. Joseph and I said our vows in a private ceremony at sunset at The Garden of The Gods in Colorado. It was absolutely beautiful. Cloey stood next to me, and sweet Nikolai brought us our rings. It was the intimate and personal wedding ceremony I could only dream of. We ended the evening with a yummy homecooked meal while surrounded by our children and closest friends.
