We met during our first year of college while living in the same dorm. At first, it was nothing extraordinary — just two people sharing the same space, crossing paths in hallways, and slowly becoming familiar faces in each other’s everyday lives. Somewhere in between classes, late nights, and learning how to be on our own, we found something steady in each other. What began as a simple friendship grew naturally, without force, into something deeper. As the years passed, we grew — individually and together. Life changed, priorities shifted, and challenges came and went, but we always found our way back to each other. Our relationship became less about big moments and more about consistency, trust, and choosing each other in the small, ordinary ways that ended up meaning the most. In August 2024, Joseph proposed on the beach in Rocky Point, Mexico. Standing by the ocean, we were surrounded by everything we’d already built together and everything still ahead of us. It felt simple, intentional, and true to who we are. What started in a college dorm has turned into a life we’re proud of and a future we’re excited to continue building — together.
