Our Love Story Began
Cooper & I met at a Mardi Gras Parade. My friend Sam called her boyfriend at the time to pick us up for the parade, but he didn't answer. So she called this guy Cooper. The moment we locked eyes with each other, I had a feeling we were destined to meet. I sent him the first Valentine's Day text message soon after.

Snow Day in Wiggins
In the summer of 2024, we moved to Wiggins, Mississippi into Cooper's family's camp house. We are so thankful for their generosity! When moving back south, we didn't expect to ever see snow again for a long time. This was the most magical day!
