15 years. ❤️
Most of you know us as SBN Mikita & Coach Brent. Usually when you see us, we’re in uniforms, running in different directions between classes, or somewhere behind the scenes at CKA.
But today is our 15th wedding anniversary, so we thought we’d share a little bit of the two people behind all of that.
For almost two decades, we’ve been building a life together. It was as close to love at first sight as anything I’ve ever experienced, and somehow my love and admiration for Brent has only grown from there.
There have been deployments, two cross-country moves, Brent’s time at the Pentagon, building CKA together, making a home together, and our lives becoming more intertwined than I ever imagined mine would be with another person.
And through all of it, we’ve laughed a lot. We’ve had a lot of adventures. We’ve collected a ridiculous number of stories.
Fifteen years went by incredibly fast.
Maybe it’s part of why the values we talk about so much at CKA mean as much to us as they do. Loyalty, patience, mindfulness, showing up consistently, and being intentional about how our actions affect the people around us aren’t just martial arts values. They’re a pretty big part of how we’ve built our life together too.
And somewhere along the way, CKA became part of that life in a much bigger way than we ever expected. So many of our students and families have become part of our story, and today we wanted to share a few photos from ours with our extended CKA family.
Today we’re taking the day off, getting dressed up, eating some really good food, and celebrating us.
Happy anniversary, Brent. ❤️
I’d choose you all over again & can’t believe how lucky I am that I get to share this life with you.
