Our Story

We met through a mutual friend, (my best friend Brittany) that knew we were both looking for our forever person. He asked me out shortly after and offered to cook dinner for me. Which I thought was such a romantic thing to do. To be honest I was so nervous I almost turned around in the driveway and left. But there was this cute little puppy who was outside waiting for me to get out so he could get pet, and I just couldn't resist. We had a great steak dinner, which if you know me and my family that was an A+. I knew after the first date that he was the one. I know cheesy love story. We had a few more dates and everything was going great. Michael had a son Easton who was 2 at the time. I also recall the first time I met him to which I will never forget. The little boy who had so much energy and made continuous high pitch dirt bike noises at ALL TIMES. I bought him a toy dirt bike that first night and he loved it. We were playing while Michael made dinner. Easton got this ornery look on his face while he had a mouth full of milk. I bet you can see where this is going! He then proceeded to spit the milk out of his mouth into my hair. Which was a new phase Michael didn’t mention until after the fact. Luckily that didn't scare me away. In fact a few short weeks later we found out we were having a little girl. Our sweet, wild Addison Grace. We went quickly from dating to a family of four. And we couldn’t have been happier. I prayed so much for the life I have today. We went through a lot in a short amount of time and still came out stronger everyday we were together. We had a baby shortly after meeting, remodeled a house, moved towns and started over, got engaged, had another baby and FINALLY got married March 2nd 2025. And we can't wait to do it again with friends and family by our side!
