Ten years, countless memories, and one perfect proposal later.. let's party! 2013 - Just friends (Really!) We met through mutual friends and swore we were just friends. Spoiler: that didn't last long. 2014 - When You Know, You Know Realized this was the real deal - comfort, balance, and love. Chris was my calm, and I was his.. high energy balance. (lol) 2015 - Road Warriors Survived a California summer in a car with no AC and a freeway tire blowout. If that doesn't test a relationship, nothing will. 2016 - Our First Family; Harry Welcomed our first pet, Harry, who brought us so much love. Saying goodbye to him later was one of our hardest moments, but we faced it together. 2017 - Adventures Begin Moved to a new city; our first real taste of independence. Manteca was a whirlwind of growth, opportunity, and hardship - "strength is built in the struggles". 2021 - The Big Leap We blindly moved to Colorado. Took a huge leap of faith, sold all of our belongings. Ended up in a basement apartment. Zero regrets (mostly). But, really - it was the best thing we have ever done. Celebrating 5 years as official "Coloradans".. Woo! 2022 - Game Nights & Pickleball From competitive board games to pickleball matches, we built traditions that still fill our days with laughter. 2023 - Adulting, Level Up Bought our first car together and our first home - proof that all those adventures and challenges were worth it. 2024 - The Proposal On my birthday, Chris pulled off the sweetest surprise - proposing at home with my sister secretly flown in the for day. It was perfectly us. 2026 - We say "I Do" After 10 years of love, laughter, and adventures, we can't wait to celebrate our marriage with all of you!
