00:00I can't believe it's been like four years since the last time we spoke it was like middle of COVID.
00:04Yes, middle of COVID.
00:05Right, in the middle of COVID. Everything just has happened with Love is Blind.
00:08So how are you guys doing now, four years later?
00:10It's like great. We live in a house.
00:12Okay.
00:12It's very exciting. I love decorating and, you know, putting a feminine touch and everything.
00:18So yeah, it's just been pretty good living in our cute little house.
00:21Yeah. Did you ever think like four years later, like this is what life would look like?
00:26Like, honestly, okay, so I went on the show when I was ripe at 25.
00:31So I had no idea what my future was going to hold.
00:34So I had no idea that my future was going to look like this.
00:37Sure.
00:38And that I would be with Matt and win the house.
00:40So yeah, I had no idea, but I'm just living blissfully over there.
00:44Good. Yeah.
00:45You know, so many people like, obviously with all the Love is Blind marriages and things like that,
00:49people sometimes doubt that they'll ever work.
00:51Are you so happy that you've kind of proved all those dadders wrong?
00:54Yes, and it is a lot of work.
00:55Oh, sure. Yeah.
00:56It's a ton of work, but it's a lot of exploring ourselves.
01:00And like I said, I was 25.
01:02So the amount of maturing that I went through.
01:05So it's definitely a lot of exploration between myself and in the relationship and what we want in a partner.
01:13Definitely, for sure.
01:14Yeah. No, I mean, what would you say was maybe the biggest challenge that you had to overcome?
01:18And how do you guys kind of work on it together?
01:20Oh, gosh, we had so many challenges.
01:21So many challenges.
01:22I mean, moving in together, right?
01:25Yes, of course, staying together.
01:26But also with the, I would say with all the audience and all the eyeballs, it's definitely the hardest to go through.
01:37And all of the opinions and everything, I would say that was 100% the biggest challenge.
01:43But then you had your own everyday challenges that you go through in a relationship and a marriage.
01:49So with everything, it's definitely a pressure cooker.
01:52So you just have to be strong with yourself and with your relationship.
01:55Yeah.
01:55Was it an easy transition moving in together?
01:58Because I know you guys took your time.
01:59Yes, we took our time.
02:00Yes, took your time.
02:01It was actually a very easy transition.
02:02I always thought that, like, that first year moving in with a boy would be a struggle.
02:08But no, it was really easy.
02:10Yeah, for sure.
02:10What's, like, the next big milestone you guys are looking forward to in your relationship?
02:13I don't know.
02:14I feel like wherever the wind takes us at the moment.
02:17Yeah.
02:17Nothing is really holding us down.
02:20So just kind of exploring our own careers.
02:24Yeah.
02:24And we love Dallas.
02:25Good.
02:26So just like I said, kind of being free.
02:28We're still really young.
02:29Yes.
02:29I mean, I turned 30 this year.
02:31Oh, my God, big milestone.
02:32So, yeah.
02:32So still very young and going where the wind takes us.
02:35Yeah.
