Josh and I met in eighth grade when we were both being held back from a field trip. I was curious about Josh and his choice of clothing (He was dressed goth, in all black), so I went up to him and asked him if he was depressed and that’s why he wears all black. We became fast friends and remained that way through out high school, although we did go through periods of time where we didn't hang out or talk much. We were an unusual friend pairing with Josh in his all black attire a real "bad boy" and I all bubbly in bright pink with my purity ring. Our lives took us in different directions, and we ran into each other a few times after high school, but everything changed when I turned 21 and walked into the Rendezvous bar in Batavia. Josh was working as a cook there at that time and we were both really excited to run into each other. We both happened to be single at this point and it wasn't long before sparks began to fly, taking us both by storm as we had previously never had romantic feelings for each other. We have had ups and downs throughout these past eight years, but we are best friends, and partners in life and couldn't imagine spending the rest of our lives apart from each other. One thing is for sure, our love grows stronger as the years pass by. We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives loving each other.
