From the beginning something felt very easy and natural. As our story unfolded, we discovered the love for little things - time with family, meaningful traditions, spontaneous adventures and dreaming about what the future could hold.

We have so much in common from love of animals and farm life, raising our three sons to traveling anywhere in the world. Through every chapter, some harder than others in the life journey, we have grown together, supporting each other through life's changes and celebrating every win, big or small.

Somewhere along the way we realized this wasn't just love - it was a partnership. A best friendship. A choice we make every day.

When the question was finally asked (yes it took a while) it felt less like a surprise and more like the natural next step in a journey we were already on. We are so proud of our three sons who are now on their own journey. We feel it is our time now and we are ready.

We are blessed with some of the best people in our lives from family to friends that feel like family. We're so excited to continue writing our story together and even more grateful to celebrate this moment surrounded by the people we love the most.

Thank you for being part of our lives and for joining us as we begin the next chapter.

With love,

Pat & Melanie
