Some love stories begin with a spark. Ours started with a friendship that stood the test of time.

We met in our senior year of high school and quickly became close friends. After graduation in 2016, we became roommates, just two best friends navigating life together. Gabe was always my go-to guy: whether my car was acting up or I needed someone to make sure I got home safe after a night out, he was there. Dependable, steady, and always just a little too good at making me laugh.

For years, we were "just friends"... until 2023, when one kiss changed everything.

Once we opened our hearts to something more, everything fell into place. In January 2024, we found out we were expecting our son, a new chapter that filled our world with even more love, and in March of 2025, Gabe asked me to marry him.

I already had two amazing kids before we started dating, and watching Gabe become the most incredible father to them has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. He loves all of us fully, fearlessly, and without hesitation.

Now, we’re making it official, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next adventure with all of you!
