We lived less than ten minutes apart in Avondale, AZ, but it took a Tinder match to bring us together. Our first date (at the finest establishment known to modern romance - Applebee's) was filled with laughter, great conversation, and the undeniable feeling that this was something special. However, one challenge remained—Marissa’s beloved cats, Bootsie and Beaux. Steven, not a cat person at first, was skeptical, but over time, he became a proud cat dad. Our little family grew even more when we added Boomer, an energetic corgi who stole our hearts. Now, our home is filled with love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos. What started with a swipe turned into a life we wouldn’t trade for anything.
