People may find it shocking that we have actually known each other for 11 years. We met at a dog park, our dogs became best furrriends, and we went on to live our separate lives as friends. Fast forward 8 years, and here we are. After both going through life changes, we reconnected, but this time it was on a much deeper level. Everything was stacked against us. I lived in Virginia and Erik lived in Idaho and each of us have two beautiful babies. How in the world was this ever going to work? We both decided to have Erik come to visit me in Virginia, and the rest is history. We finally found our light again, our purpose. From that first airport hug, we have been "inseparable", even being 2,400 miles away from each other. We've spent two years long distance with lots of back and forth visits in between. The two of us can not be happier to finally be together in one spot for good. We have decided to have a private ceremony with ourselves, Brooks, Maggie, Owen, and Walker, and while it will be so special, we wish everyone could be there to share all of our joy and happiness. We couldn't have done this without everyone's love and support throughout our journey. It hasn't been an easy one, but we made it!
