Josh and I grew up oceans apart, until fate brought us both to the sun-drenched deserts of Arizona. Josh is from Texas (Don't Mess with Texas lol), and I, from a tiny little island in the Pacific. The beautiful island of Guam, literally where America's day begins (it's true - look it up!).

The story is our paths crossed through our careers at Farmers Insurance, the Summer of 2022. Josh was in corporate management (You know the guy that always had an office with the top-dollar salary and got to spend all the money the sales side generates? Yup! That's Josh!) Meanwhile, I was in Sales and then landed my dream Executive Administration job for the Metro Phoenix DM (The team that made the magic happen ~ $$$). We laugh about it from time to time, but once we crossed paths, he just couldn’t keep away. As cliché as it sounds, he finally got me to say yes.

By the end of Summer that year, we took a big leap and blended our lives and our households! With his three kids and my two, we’ve got a full, wonderfully chaotic house. It’s a little wild, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our engagement last December was the icing on the cake. On a Christmas trip to Europe, we found ourselves in Paris, right beneath the Eiffel Tower, where he popped the question. It was the most beautiful, intimate proposal. No staged crowds, photo props, or attention. It was just the two of us, in the perfect setting. I knew I had finally found my person, and we can’t wait to celebrate our journey with you all. 2025 is going to be a winter desert wedding to remember forever.
