We met and became good friends during 7th grade, when we were in the same P.E. class. We shared high-fives after running the mile, ate lunch together, and got to know each other through lots of text messages. In 8th grade, we officially began dating on 9/17/2012. It was your average, innocent teenage relationship, but we were over-the-moon happy to be together. We entered high school together, and shared all the high school memories you could think of; then, we graduated high school together too. We continued to build our relationship, even though we were long distance for three years. Through all the high school dances, months of communicating only through letters, three years of long distance, moving in together, adopting our first dog, and so much more, we have continually grown. We've waited 9 years for our special day, and can't wait to have you as part of it!
