It all started with an Instagram DM from Travis, which didn’t turn into much of anything, to then seeing him in person for the first time (didn’t know I was going to be seeing him) and telling my best friend when I got home that I was going to marry him one day. After years of different paths of life, we finally connected again and decided to go to brunch to see if we wanted to pursue things or not. That brunch turned into going to Road America, meeting Travis’s best friends Dan & Lauren, then going to his uncles house, and me ending the night with “sooo should I kiss you now?” And the rest is history. We’ve grown so much since that first date with lots of trial and error, we’ve traveled, we’ve moved, we’ve experienced the loss of my dad and Travis’s sister, me going back to school and starting a new career, job changes for Travis and I, watching and experiencing Mia grow into a teenager, building the Cobra from the ground up, race weekends, and many leaps of faith. I truly couldn’t ask for a better partner in life, who has also blessed me with the most beautiful and witty Bonus Daughter. I can’t believe that gut feeling I had the first time seeing Travis is now our reality, but I can’t wait to see what our next chapter holds for this beautiful life we’ve created.
