Our Story
From First Glance to Forever
It all began in September 2014 when we met at work. What started as casual conversations quickly became a true friendship that following fall. We bonded over a shared love of traveling and spent weekends watching football games. It didn’t take long to realize we were rooting for different teams—he is a diehard LSU and Pittsburgh Steelers fan, while she is a passionate supporter of the Seattle Seahawks—but that only made things more fun.
In February 2016, life took her to Washington State. It wasn’t until we were apart that they realized how much we truly missed each other. Despite the distance, we decided to make it work. Long-distance wasn’t easy, but we talked daily, bridging the miles with laughter, love, and many travel plans. She made trips to Texas, and he flew to Washington whenever possible. We explored new places together, from the charming streets of Portland to the historic sites of Boston. One of our favorite trips was to Canton, Ohio, where we visited the Football Hall of Fame—a memory we still cherish.
Determined to close the distance, he applied for countless jobs in Washington and Oregon, but fate had other plans. In July 2020, amid a global pandemic, she moved back to Texas. Since then, we’ve weathered life’s highs and lows together. We endured a pandemic, navigated a historic Texas ice storm that left us without water and power, and faced the heartbreak of losing important people and beloved pets. But through it all, we also celebrated new beginnings—the births of new family members, unforgettable adventures, and the joy of building a life together.
Adopting two beagles, Leia and Ghostface, has brought us immense happiness. They brighten our days, and it’s fair to say that our lives now center around their wagging tails and constant cuddles.
On Leap Day 2024, she embraced an old Irish tradition and took matters into her own hands. She proposed to the love of her life with some of his favorite things: beagles, beef jerky, and deviled eggs. It was a night filled with laughter, love, and heartwarming moments—a story we can’t wait to share with our friends and family for years to come.
