We met working at Pappadeaux in college, where CrossFit, hand-delivered Yoo-hoos, wine, and Friends sparked our first chapter. Life took us on separate paths for a while, but our friendship never faded. We grew individually, found our way back, and chose one another with even greater intention. From ocean kayaking and volcano hikes to the simple moments at home, we've learned that the best love isn't just exciting adventures—it's steady, purposeful, and kind. Turns out, I found my lobster.

A favorite moment wasn't a trip or celebration. It was the night we found our way back to each other. During a difficult season for Molly's family, we talked about what the future might hold. Without hesitation, Stefan said he'd help raise my niece. In that moment, I knew I'd found my person. He didn't just choose me. He chose my whole family. Looking back, it wasn't just the beginning of our future together. It was the moment I knew we could build a life rooted in love, patience, and support.

We'd invest most of it to help create a bright future for our niece and our family, knowing that even small investments today can grow into big opportunities tomorrow. We'd use the rest to create meaningful memories with the people we love, whether that's gathered around a dinner table or exploring somewhere new together. To us, the greatest investment isn't just in the future. It's in the people you share it with today.
