Our Story Together
While there may be two versions of how we met, the agreed-upon parts are that we met Fall 2002 on the campus of UMBC in the University Commons. Our first conversation was full of laughs, playful banter, and mutual positive energy between us.
We started dating in February 2005, and almost exactly 3 years later, Taylor proposed, and Nicolas said yes!
On Friday, August 21st, 2009, we got married! And we were blessed to have many of our closest family & friends with us to celebrate the occasion.
Over these last 15 years, our sons William (Remi) & Langston were born… we’ve moved a few times but “hitched our tent” in Elkridge… and with God, love, and the support of our “village”, we’ve made it thus far and look forward to the next several decades together!
