What started as an unexpected family connection grew into a friendship that felt safe, steady, and easy for both of us. We became best friends, grounding each other and offering care, laughter, and support in ways that felt so natural. We brought out the best in one another without ever trying to force what came next. Then one day, we felt a spark of something more and knew we weren’t just best friends anymore, we were in love. Today, our greatest gift is our son Ashton, whose love for music and joyful spirit light up every room he enters. As we step into this next chapter together, we’re grateful for a story rooted in God's plan for our lives.
