Our Journey

Our time together has been one heck a journey for us both already. Who knew we would be blessed to experience such a wonderful life together in such a short time already. We met when Austin was working in Merced and I (Laura) had a year and half left at Cal State East Bay. One year after graduating from East Bay and having been together about 2 1/2 years we moved across the country to Plymouth, New Hampshire. Here is where Austin continued to work in the property management business and I went to Physical Therapy School. Austin thrived in his business and I studied a lot. We learned so much about ourselves and us during this time and I think the biggest thing is we grew as one in a way we hadn't expected. Finding our ways to support each other in an unknown place in which we only had each other physically there. Days that Austin would come to the school and fall asleep in a chair and wake up when I needed a guinea pig for studying or just other research project. It was all forgein to us both but we made the routines and the place familiar and ultimately our home. After fall of 2019 I finally finished the In-class portion of school and we headed back home! it was on this drive we went the southern route (as we took the northern on our way out) we met our family in Florida and spent a week grinding out 6 days of universal studios and Disney world. we continued on our way to New Orleans, then Austin Texas where we stayed a night at each of my sisters and our last stops of Four Corners, Horseshoe Bend and the Grand Canyon! It was at the Grand Canyon that Austin popped the big question! We have settled at home I work at Memorial Medical Center in Modesto and another clinic part time while Austin is at Rental Zebra in Merced, we purchased our first home in Merced and of course we are continuing to learn more and more each day about ourselves as individuals and a unit.
