Our Story

The 10 Year Wonder (2004 - 2014)

Talk about fate! God tried bringing us together in 2004... neither of us realized it until 2014. May 2004 - Cholla Prom Night Back when disposable cameras were the thing, and you couldn't look through your pictures until your film was developed... LOL. We didn't know each other in high school (different schools), but we both were at Cholla's prom. Somehow, one of us managed to take a selfie with the other ones camera. No introductions or even eye contact were made; Just took a selfie and that was that. For TEN YEARS that picture stayed in an album, making a girls heart pound each time she looked at it, wondering who that person was. (Crazy right?) September 2014 - A Night Downtown Once again... we showed up to the same place. This time, downtown. It was last call before we finally locked eyes. (and that smile... breathtaking) The prom-selfie-mystery was finally solved! Suddenly, no one else in the room mattered and we were in each others arms. We only danced a few minutes before our friends pulled us away to leave. While that moment was brief, it was unforgettable. To this day, it is still difficult to explain the feelings we experienced that night. We managed to reconnect online the next day (praise the social media gods lol) and talked on the phone for hours each night after that. One month into dating, our sweet daughter Aliyah wanted us together every minute possible. Six months into dating, she made us official when she asked us to be boyfriend and girlfriend. You've got to love it! Here we are now, five years of true love and new adventures. We were meant to be.

For all the days along the way
