We met at Stoney's Bar in Sacramento! I walked in with my friends and saw the cute guy singing karaoke. He came up to me later to say that we were wearing the same shoes, then asked me out. We went on three dates that week and have been inseparable since.

We fell pretty quick for each other, sharing "I love you's" just a month later on Christmas Eve.

We enjoy our time together (even through the pandemic craziness) and say goodbye as Tim gets deployed.

Tim comes home early from deployment (thank goodness!)

We move in together; a beautiful little apartment in El Dorado Hills where we start our life together.

Life moves forward as Tim signs on with CalFire and I continue teaching at various schools. We adjust to our new life with Tim being away constantly.

We buy our first home!

We welcome our three little fur babies into the family (best decision we ever made!)

Tim plans the most elaborate, wonderful proposal trip to Cancun! Complete with photographer, all inclusive resort, and romantic sunset cruise on a Spanish Galleon. A beautiful week celebrating our next chapter!
