Corey and I met, June of 2009. We were just friends of friends. We would end up in the same group of friends, yet we hadn't thought anything of it. The more we hung out, the more we started getting to know one another. October 31st 2009, Corey asked me to date him. I told Corey I was not ready for a relationship, and a few days later on November 4th, we were hanging out at the California Aquaduct with friends. That evening there was a white owl flying over us. As I watched the owl and got to know Corey more I decided he was alright...I then asked Corey if he would be my boyfriend and of course he said, Yes! Our relationship took a huge turning point when my father got sick. Corey showed that he was caring, and tender. He showed support, and stuck by my side. In life you always want a partner that can make you better, and can make life better. That is what Corey is to me. We bring out the best in each other! After 9 years together, Corey finally smartened up and popped the question in Big Sur, CA. And here we are today...and thus came about this website! #sheisthenewman
