Bryan and I met for the first time in 1995 in Mrs. Barbaras kindergarten class at Our Lady of Hope. He was the bad boy trouble maker and I was the good girl. We knew each other from being in class together from kindergarten thru sixth grade when I moved. Life took us in many directions until we reconnected through social media in 2018. Our first date was Jimmys Famous where we had a few drinks and played some pool. There was an instant connection and I had no idea that night would be the start of a relationship that would last a lifetime. Bryan met Belle shortly before Christmas and it did not take long for her to claim him as "her Bry Bry". After a few months we moved in together and began the life we have now as a little family. On July 26 during a family photo shoot on the beach, Bryan proposed and we could not have been happier. Surrounded by our family, we celebrated the beginning of our engagement adventure with a toast and champagne at our condo and then a family dinner at Mackeys. The memories we have made together in the last year and a half are just the beginning of our adventure as a family and we are excited to see what the future holds for us.
