We first locked eyes in the little mountain town of Flagstaff, Arizona. We both knew there was something special but it was the butterfly kisses, fire dancing, and headstands while listening to records that sealed the deal. This was indeed young love, but true love nonetheless. At that time, we didn’t know where the wind would take us, but we knew wherever it went, we wanted to go there together. We were living in two different towns in Northern Arizona and there was an undeniable magnetic pull for us to be near one another. If we weren’t on the phone talking for hours like middle school girls, we would be hitching rides from Prescott to Flagstaff and back again, just to be together. A few days before we caught a plane out east to work at a summer camp, we found out we would be embarking on the biggest adventure of all…Parenthood! Young love began to blossom into something much stronger and we settled in Flagstaff to welcome the one and only Juniper Jolee into the world. There we became the Yobro’s, and the three of us were better together. Adventure was out there and we were ready for the next one! We built a bed in our van, loaded it up, and headed North to Washington State. We lived in Olympia- finished a degree, guided on rivers, coached volleyball, and raised our little. It sounds like fun and games and while we have very fond memories, our lives changed forever and we faced our darkest days. Young love, strengthened by parenthood and grown through grief became the firm foundation for our forever love. It was then that we realized, we could get through anything, together. The sunshine and opportunity of Austin, TX came calling, and when we answered it was clear that this place was where we wanted our roots planted. Together, we began healing parts of ourselves that would open doors to a more meaningful and balanced life. Together, we chased the careers that felt like our calling and supported each other while starting and growing our businesses. We purchased our first house and have worked proudly to make it a home, together. In our younger, hippier, and more unconventional years we were certain marriage would never be for us! We promised only to stay together if we were making each other and our lives better. 11 years together feels like both a lifetime and a blink of an eye and if we have learned one thing on this journey it is that we are better together.
