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, Summer of 2022. Josh was in corporate management (Mr. Big Shot, with the top-dollar salary, spending all the money the sales side generates). Meanwhile, I was in Sales and then in Executive Administration for the Metro Phoenix DM (yes the team that makes 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 beautifully intimate proposal—just the two of us, in the perfect setting. I knew I finally found my person and we can’t wait to celebrate our journey with you all. 2025 is going to be a desert winter we'll remember forever.
