it's a forever thing

We first met freshman year of high school in 2013 in Hayward, CA. (shoutout Moreau LOL.) We were friends but never super close— Louie bought ice cream for me and my sister once our sophomore year when an ice cream truck came by, and he didn’t let us pay him back— I thought he was so sweet for that. But we just never got super close in high school! We went to high school all 4 years together and graduated in 2017. Fast-forward to 2021 in my last year of college, I didn’t even follow this man on social media but we had a mutual friend (shoutout Jmaggs!!) who invited Louie to our hangout last minute, and I am forever grateful he did. Since then, Louie and I have been inseparable. He asked me to be his girlfriend on February 14, 2021. We got secretly engaged 1 month later… LOL. (when you know you know!!) We got to live together in Seattle, WA for three years with our beautiful dog Kianna, and we are now back in the Bay Area. I don’t know where I would be today without Louie’s kindness, patience, genuine compassion, and his love. I truly can’t wait to grow old with him and love him for the rest of my life. ❤️

Writing this or talking to someone about our story always brings a smile to my face. When I first met Anica, I was in high school. We both went to Moreau and throughout all those 4 years we weren’t really close friends but we DEFINITELY knew of each other. Our school wasn’t the biggest high school. I would always see her around. Although we didn’t have much memories in high school together, one stuck out, that was me buying her ice cream our sophomore year. After graduating high school we lost touch and hadn’t talked until one of our good friends Joseph Magana reconnected us. I remember this part so vividly, when I first seen her after all these years she walked out of her garage and she was so beautiful. I mean like when time just stops and slows down. It was originally supposed to be all three of us hanging out but it felt like Joseph was third wheeling. After that moment it was history, we had countless memories in San Francisco and moved to Seattle together for 3 years. Throughout all this time I still see her for her beauty the day I first met her, she is an amazing woman and I can’t wait to make her my wife. There isn’t anyone in the world I wouldn’t want to grow old with, cry coming home to, and love unconditionally than you Anica Joie Librodo Boccaleoni. I love you❤️
