We've known each other since we were 13 years old. We had a few classes together and were interested in other people through the younger years. We were always just friends throughout junior high and high school. We grew up and each lived in Seattle when we reconnected in the summer of 2012. We spent the summer hiking to waterfalls, swimming in rivers, going on long drives, and riding bikes; spending almost every day with each other. We realized we were more than "just friends" after having so much in common that summer. In the fall, we moved into our first apartment together, and our love grew from there! From multiple apartments, living with our parents, buying a house, traveling the country, and getting a puppy, what was next?!
