I am a full time bakery manager/deaf education student and so excited to marry Dillon. We met when we both worked in a retail grocery store and became good friends. Fast forward 2 years and we finally started dating. After a year together we bought our first house, adopted our fur baby George and got engaged! Now I spend my time between work/school/gym/wedding planning/homework/friends/family/fiance lol. Yea it's a lot but I am so blessed to have a life filled with so much to do!

Happily married 🎉
