At 16 years old, we crossed paths in high school, and it all began with a simple slide into the DMs. Little did we know, that one small message would set the course for a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and growth. As we navigated through high school, we matured together, learning the beauty of love, patience, and companionship. Our journey continued at the University of the Incarnate Word, where we faced both struggles and triumphs side by side. Whether it was late-night study sessions or celebrating academic accomplishments, we proved time and time again that together, we could overcome anything that came our way. After graduation, life took us to El Paso, where we began a new chapter together due to his commission into the Army. Our bond was truly tested during his first deployment, but those moments, though difficult, only strengthened our love and deepened our connection. In those trying times, we learned that no distance or challenge could ever come between us. We now share our lives with our fur babies, Kyleigh and Kalani, who fill our days with love, joy, and a little extra chaos. Together, we’ve created a home full of laughter, warmth, and the kind of love that only grows stronger over time. Though we’ve been legally married, the day we stand before God and our closest family and friends to marry in the church feels like the true beginning of our forever. The love we’ve shared so far has been a beautiful journey, and we can’t wait to continue walking it together, hand in hand, with the people we cherish most.
