We was never expecting to find each other; but it has been a magical journey with endless adventures of travelling and memories.

We met in my home state of Alaska in April 2017, at the very famous bar in Anchorage; Koots, same place my parents came to in the 70’s! We have not left each other’s side since. We travelled back to the states into Oregon where my family lived and was married in April 2022 at a little historic town in Oregon. And on that day, Roger presented this beautiful book of our Story. In his words, he describe our first encounter on that faithful night in April.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our first trip cross country to go live in Buffalo Ny, Roger’s hometown. It was a trip to remember; to avoid the snow storms in the north and tornadoes in south. But we prevailed by reaching our destination in 3 short days; arrived on my sister-in laws birthday.
What would you do with $20,000?Roger and I just purchased our first home together; some thing that we both always dreamed of having. And since we need to be closer to Roger recently widow mother; we wanted to make her very own cottage of the river, next to us!
