Leanne and Marshall
We love telling this story. We met in our first class of college in 2007 in a English class. Oddly enough, we learned that we lived across from one another in the dorm rooms on campus. We specifically remember this because Leanne worked off campus at the time and Marshall could hear her heels hitting the concrete pavement each time she left for work. We became friends, and would often walk from class back to the dorms together. We officially started dating in the latter part of 2008.
Our dating life was so fun and innocent. Neither of us really drank or partied, so we found ourselves at the campus library studying for exams and completing homework. We both really love coffee and would hang out at local coffee shops around campus. Outside of school we enjoyed hiking in the mountains, eating great food, hanging out with friends, and talking about our futures. Life was simple, wholesome, and perfect.
After we completed our undergrad, Marshall's work took us all around the country. We’ve lived in New Mexico, New Orleans, San Francisco, South Florida and Dallas. This opportunity allowed us to have great exposure to seeing different ways of life around the country and helped us to become more cultured. As we moved around, we both completed our higher education through graduate school as well. We tied the knot in 2020 once we found our forever city and purchased a home.. Today, Marshall is no longer required to move around or travel as much and we are both excited to dedicate our time to becoming parents!
Looking back, we treasured the time we’ve had together and we love each other more and more each day. We are very aligned in our values and both desire the same things out of life. We have similar approaches to our future parenting styles and have a really solid foundation. This helps us when we face obstacles and makes it easier to tackle things together in a partnership. We are each other's biggest supporters and we will carry this down to our future child. We will be their biggest advocate and cheerleaders!
