Mike and I met in August of 2020. We’re one of those “swipe right” success stories. It wasn’t long after meeting that we both felt like we had found a missing piece to our lives. Over the next year, we’d talked about ideas and plans and dreams we had. One of them was to move out of California. The second was to add to our family after we were settled elsewhere. Well, God had other plans and we ended up adding to the family before moving. On June 9th I had stayed over with Mike, because a friend of mine was supposed to be flying in and we were going to spend the day with her but she had to cancel due to her son being sick. That next morning we took Avrie to school, and were hanging out at the house. Mike called me in his room, and I annoyingly got up to go in (making the pregnant lady get up off the couch) and when I turned into the room he was down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I responded “oh, we’re doing this now?” In hindsight I should’ve said yes first but, here we are. We made the decision to move up the move date so we could be moved by the time our Mackenzie got here. In October of 2021 Mike, Avrie and I headed out of California and landed in Washington. It has been a whirlwind ever since, but we are all loving being here and together.
