We started messaging back and forth on Facebook Early September of 2010. We did that for a few weeks until we finally decided that we wanted to meet! We met at the mall, and as soon as I saw him I was smitten. He immediately made my heart melt. We spent every day together after that. He became my best friend. My dad was getting married in October 2010, and I was allowed to bring a plus one, so I asked him to be my wedding date. He said yes! I fell madly in love with him that night.

Our favorite memory together has to be each time we found out we were pregnant! I can still see the look of pure joy on his face when we found out we were pregnant with our little girl after having our two beautiful boys! My other favorite memory is the night he proposed. We had dinner at my dad's house that night, and he pulled my dad away to talk. I could tell he was nervous on the ride home after. I can remember sitting on our living couch when he came out with a ring! I said yes!

Honestly? We've always dreamt of owning our own home. We've been together for so long and he works so incredibly hard to give our little family the best life he can. But we currently rent and are losing so much money just in rent and utilities alone. It would mean the world to give our kids a forever home. Somewhere they could bring their kids to visit someday! They also would LOVE a dog. It's a dream for them. This would help us out so much. We could really use a miracle. 🥺❤️
