Our love story began with an instant, electric connection and a level of passion neither of us had ever felt before. From day one, the physical attraction was undeniable, and he made me feel like an absolute goddess. We started as two people completely raw and authentic with each other, which built a strong foundation. Over a 17-year journey, life has thrown heavy obstacles our way, but we never stopped digging our heels in and consciously choosing each other day after day.

Our favorite memories come from our spontaneous, long-distance road trips through the mountains and coastal regions. Getting lost on scenic routes, singing along to the radio, and exploring places like the Willamette National Forest with no real map is where we are happiest. It reminds us that no matter how unpredictable the road ahead gets, there is nobody else we'd rather have in the passenger seat."
