Our story begins while working in Miami Lakes, FL. We met each other at a department meeting, where we instantly had a connection. After a few months of getting to know each other and realizing how like-minded we were, our friendship grew to something neither of us expected.
On October 13, 2003, we decided to step out of our comfort zone, and take our relationship to the next level. We were both very young and inexperienced, but we knew deep down inside that we wanted to grow up together. We wanted to experience the ups and the downs that life throws at us, with each other by our side.
After living together for a couple of years, we made another life changing decision to pack up our stuff and move away to Atlanta, GA where we began the 'student years'. It wasn't always easy, but we had each other every step of the way. From there, our 5 year adventure in Atlanta passed very quickly, and with it came the beginning of a new chapter cross-country in Portland, Oregon where we spent another 5 years to complete our Doctorate programs.
Since Day 1 we have always had alignment in all of the decisions we make, we had it then and still do. We supported each other during the difficult times, and celebrated each others successes. We became addicted to making each other happy. By this point, several years have gone by. We've grown confident in ourselves, in our relationship, and what we want our life to look like in the future.
After being gone for many years, we moved back to South Florida and began to work making our visions a reality. 10 years have passed, and today we continue to work on ourselves and grow our relationship. We dream to continue to share experiences and new adventures.
We both have been blessed to have met at such a young age, and share these incredible 20+ years with each other. Our love for each other has gotten stronger and deepened in ways that we could never put into words. The love we share remains fun, exciting, romantic, spontaneous, and adventurous. We've created memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. On May 3, 2025, our story continues by adding another page, onto another chapter, in the best love story ever written. We are excited to continue to grow and learn from each other, but most importantly, we will continue to protect and care for this unique and precious connection that we share. We've accomplished so much in both of our lives, but the most important accomplishment is US.
