We are getting married!

Kind of crazy the way it all unfolded but we somehow met through friends! Nick's name was given to me as a possible candidate for a Valentine's Day date (even though I was NOT looking). We didn't know each other and both weren't at the right place in our lives but his name and face stuck in my mind. Finally one day, a few months later, a friend of mine saw Nick (at Looney's of course) for brunch on a Sunday that he normally didn't work. She gave him my number, he reached out that night, we went on our first date six days later and then six months after that, we found out we were expecting. We welcomed a beautiful baby girl and here we are now! Life doesn't always happen the way we think it will, we both know that for sure. But, we are so happy and blessed to have found one another and although the timeline was not what we expected or planned, it happened the way it should and we wouldn't change a thing. Now, we are ready to make our family official in Barbados! Nick, Jimmy, Jacob, Quinn and I are so excited to celebrate with all of our closest friends and family in the beautiful Eastern Caribbean!

I have never been more surprised than I was on Mother's Day 2018. The kids had gifts for me to open and the last one Quinn handed me, had the ring inside. I was shocked and totally blown away, not only because of how stunning the ring was but also because I wasn't expecting it at all! The diamond belonged to my grandmother and he had it reset into the most beautiful setting, making it even more special. Not only did I have no idea that Nick was planning on proposing that day but also that he had planned for all of our family to come over to celebrate!
