17 Years in love!

Steve and I met in October 2002 through a mutual friend who we both went to middle school with. Although Steve showed no interest in being in a relationship at that time, I was determined to get to know him. His wit and charm intrigued me. Even at the tender age of 17, I knew in my soul that he was the one for me. We started dating in July of 2003. Shortly after, Steve left for boot camp. Even though we were apart during the early months of our relationship, our love and admiration for one another swiftly grew. We got married on November 10, 2004. Over the past 16 years, Steve and I experienced many trials and tribulations including several overseas deployments, multiple relocations and our greatest achievement, the birth of our sons Darius and Nathan. As a family unit we’ve accomplished a tremendous amount. We hope to continue to build great memories with our children for years to come.
