We were classmate’s in a public speaking class in college. A class we both dreaded. John participated in every speech and Lexi bribed the teacher and John with homemade egg rolls. The rest is history.

We decided on forever a long time ago. We purchased our first home in 2018 and had been working endlessly to make it feel complete. We built and planted a raised garden bed in our yard in the spring, some days literally in the rain. Once the garden was complete and our garden began to grow. John placed the ring in a bushel of Brussel sprouts; When Lexi watered the garden that evening she was very surprised. Then to top it all our neighbor walked thru our back yard and asked if she could have our Hosta.
