2023 had felt like it was "our year". A year that started with losing our first baby to a miscarriage, we've been grateful to be showered with blessings ever since. First, in March 2023, we closed on our dream home in Oceanside, CA. It was an original 1970s labor of love, and it's been a blessing to turn this house into our home where we're so excited to raise our family! Then in June 2023, Ryan proposed (on his birthday, like the gentleman he is) in the rainy mountains of Colorado Springs. We were overjoyed to find out we were expecting our rainbow baby as soon as we arrived home from our magical engagement weekend! It only felt appropriate to end our beautiful year with a private wedding ceremony on December 29th in sunny San Diego. It was a special, intimate day perfect for our growing family. It now feels like the perfect time to celebrate these incredible life milestones with the people who mean the most to us at our clambake wedding reception in Ryan's home state!
