Our First Date
We met on-line and had our first date at Nelson Ledges in June 2021. She thought he was trying too hard and he thought she had yucky teeth! What a great start to our story ❤️
His Proposal
Lance presented Tammy in September 2024 with a card at Lake Chataqua and a hand written letter declaring his intent to marry - with Mochi’s approval of course! The ring was ordered and the waiting was long (in her mind). Once the ring came in, he officially proposed in March 2025 on a bridge during a hike through the woods.

She loves to travel, hike, horse-back riding, spending time with family and friends, reading and most of all..... spending time with Lance & Mochi! He keeps me busy :) What most attracted me to Lance? His faith in God and walk with Jesus!
