Our Wedding

As many of you know, Chad's mom worked for my family and I for 28 years at Holiday House. Chad and I knew each other, but we finally met in 2021 when Linda, his mom, had a health event. We spent a lot of time with her; as they say, the rest is history. My mom and dad loved Linda and would have been thrilled that Chad and I had found each other. Linda passed away in 2022, but she knew we were in love and that one day, I would be her daughter-in-law. We are both so blessed to have each other and excited to get married.
