welcome to our journey

First comes love.
Then comes marriage.
Then… addiction. Wreckage. Numbing.

And yet—love. Survival. A radical choice to heal.

We didn’t find a playbook for addiction and recovery. We found power in boundaries, surrender, and rebuilding one day at a time.

This is our journey: husband, wife, and addiction. It’s messy and unfiltered. It’s not the “happily ever after”—it’s coloring outside the lines in marriage, recovery, and love through the gray.

If you knew Chris only as the successful entrepreneur, you may have missed the pain beneath the surface. If you saw Katie’s smile, you may not have noticed the secret struggles in chaos and codependency. Together, we’ve faced destruction and chosen to rebuild, reckon, and redefine what unconditional love means.

This space is our story—and hopefully an invitation. If you’re navigating addiction, trauma, or simply searching for new ways to love through life’s hardest gray spaces, you’re not alone.

Stay tuned. The journey is just beginning.
