My other half, Ben, is an officer of the law here in Dallas and we are so proud of him for all of his hard work and dedication to our country and family. Ben and I met in Mission Viejo, California at our community college. It was love at first note card ha ha. Actually it’s a funny story, but I left a study note card on his windshield and it didn’t fly off for about two days. Crazy right??! We have been together ever since, and it will be 7 years this July 5th of 2021. I’ll definitely make a separate blog post about how we met and really go into detail for you guys. Anyway, Mia, my oldest, is my daughter from my previous relationship. She is the sweetest and most wonderful human being I know! I sometimes wonder how God thought I would be good enough to be her mom. Giana, Luka, and Tiago are her half siblings but it’s so important for me to raise them as brothers and sisters! No matter what they are siblings and nothing can come between them, even if they are fighting for snacks half of the time 🙂
