It was love at first sight...! Juan and I met during our career together in law enforcement at the Sheriff's Office in 2016. It was such instant attraction and chemistry that brought us together out of no where. I always believed it was his incredible sense of humor and our genuine care and positivity for one another that connected us together.

Juan and I started our relationship in October of 2016, we became a power couple since and have grown to love and appreciate each other in such a manner only one would believed to be true in movies! He has always been such a positive influence in my life and allows me to see the world in a different light, supporting every decision I make and always looking at the glass half full.

Juan is very home bodied and calming type of person, where I lie on the opposite side of the spectrum; I am the outdoorsy and adventurous type person. To see him do the things I love because he knows it makes me happy is everything to me. We have always found balance between one another and have learned to complement each other. Fast forward to 7 years later and we still rush home to see each other as if it was the first time.

I knew early on Juan was my person, my best friend and my everything. He is my everyday, every moment and every memory I want to fill my life with. They say love is hard, yet our love is the easiest and most special thing I've ever experienced.
