Our story began in July of 2018. Little did I know that when my sister, Kendra, bought her first home, I would meet my future husband who lived just a few houses down from us. The cute guy who lived down the way caught my attention almost immediately. I thought I was being subtle by sitting out on the front porch for several days just hoping to gain his attention. Except it was over one hundred degrees out and mosquito season was upon us. After days of sweating and suffering from at least fifty mosquito bites, we were finally introduced to each other in another neighbor's driveway. We were immediately drawn to each other's witty, sarcastic sense of humor. We unintentionally started a driveway party that evening with the rest of our neighbors but talked to no one but each other. Everything fell into place after that, and we have taken on many of life's crazy twists and turns together: me developing my career as a speech therapist, Jeremy going out to patrol as a deputy sheriff, buying our first home, adopting a dog, and so much more. We are so excited to be taking this next step in our journey together and can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
