It all started on New Year’s Day 2018. That morning, we connected for the first time, and something just felt easy—like we had known each other for much longer. A few days later, we met in person, and from that point on, things just naturally fell into place.

From the very beginning, our connection was effortless and genuine. There wasn’t a single defining moment when everything clicked—it was a slow, steady build. We started as friends, and over time, we realized we were building something real and lasting.

Since then, we’ve shared so many milestones together—graduating college, moving out of state, starting new jobs, and adopting our dog. We’ve traveled, laughed, supported each other through life’s ups and downs, and made memories we’ll cherish forever.

One of our favorite moments is the day we got engaged. We were supposed to be taking photos for Christmas cards when Anthony got down on one knee. It was simple, sweet, and completely unexpected—a quiet moment that turned into one of the most meaningful days of our lives.

Seven years later, we’ve grown so much together, and we’re beyond excited for everything the future holds as we keep building this life, side by side.
