Our journey together started back in 2013, when we were just 13 years old—way younger than we ever could have known we’d end up spending the rest of our lives together! Cody first noticed me at a community festival near his middle school, but at the time, I had no idea who he was. We wouldn’t speak until later that summer, but once we did, it didn’t take long for us to become inseparable. We found ourselves surrounded by friends who brought us together—many of whom will be celebrating with us on our wedding day—and from there, our connection only grew stronger. High school came next, and it was during those years that our relationship truly blossomed. From first jobs and getting our driver’s licenses to navigating the ups and downs of growing up, we were each other’s constant. When Cody joined the United States Air Force, I was there to support him every step of the way through his 6-year enlistment. He’s been equally supportive of me throughout college, constantly inspiring me to pursue my dreams. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been worth it. In 2022, we took another big step and moved into our first home in Lincoln, CA, where we share our lives with our beloved Rottweiler, Brewski. We are incredibly blessed to have built a life full of love and adventure, with unwavering support from our friends and family. Through all the highs and lows, we’ve learned that the best kind of love is the kind that stands the test of time. Above all, we thank God for guiding us on this incredible journey.
