We first matched on Tinder and soon discovered we shared the same college halls. Though we weren’t ready for a relationship then, we cherished the time we had together. Life pulled us apart for two years, until fate quietly led us back to one another. From young college kids facing obstacles to the life, we’ve built today, we’ve grown through trials, triumphs, and countless lessons. Together we’ve become not only partners, but a strong and happy family. Five months into our rekindled love, we learned we were expecting our son, James the sweetest blessing of our story. Now, as I step into this new chapter, I’ll carry the same last name as the two most important men in my world. For me, it isn’t just a name it’s our love, our family, and the future we’re building together.
