Fall 2012 - Albertus Magnus College Where it all began! One of our many nights out at Albertus.

One of the best things about our life together has been making memories with our families.

Lots of special moments together…

With our favorite people!

Spending time together on family trips…

making memories all over the world!

And then we decided to add some more family members to the mix!

Our Christmas baby, Mia December 2019

And our Covid baby, Mister May 2020

And after years of memories in our first apartment, we bought our first home! October 2020

And then Miss Jazzie joined the crew!! April 2023

And they lived as one big happy family!

And as many years passed with lots of special moments in between… July 2023

Many years of laughing, learning and loving…

Many memories to look back on…

After 10 years, Elijah finally decided to make it official!

So on September 8, 2023, after 10 years, Elijah proposed at the top floor restaurant of the Omni Hotel surrounded by our families.

Truly an incredible night and Vern was beyond surprised!

Now we can’t wait to celebrate our wedding with all of our closest family and friends!
