Sierra was "The teacher across the hall". Her passion for teaching, her love of reading and the pure joy she brought to the room was captivating. As a friend, I was inspired by the way she made learning vibrant. Her sincerity, kindness and humble brilliance still amazes me. On Sierra's 30th birthday, under an umbrella, she said yes; yes to the start of our journey together. A journey that took us from New York's busy streets to Newport's calm shores. It's here that we have planted our garden and hosted our family for Christmas. It's the first place Sierra called home as a child and will be the place we too, start a family. We hope that you can join us for a summer weekend by the sea! <3
