Justin and I have a mutual friend from high school (hi Kyle), however, we never met each other during those four years. After having a tough time at Florida State, I transferred to University of Central Florida and found someone who needed their lease taken over at a nearby apartment. Not only did Justin live at this complex, but his building was directly next to the one I was moving into. Justin was hosting a hangout at his apartment a few nights later and our mutual friend decided to bring me along. Having thought he was cute in high school, I used the only piece of information I knew about him: we both have the same favorite band, Relient K. I walked in wearing a RelientK Sweatshirt to get his attention, and the rest was history. We hit it off and Justin told our friend to make sure there were more opportunities for us to hangout. After some time Justin asked me to be his girlfriend and we’ve been together ever since!

Justin and I had wanted to go to Savannah, GA for a long time now. Our mutual appreciation for history, old architecture, good food/drinks, and spookiness (get why we love St. Augustine so much?) kept it at the top of our travel list. We finally made it out there this past summer, where Justin proposed in one of the many beautiful historic squares in the city. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect moment to share with him. Fun Fact: We went on a walking ghost tour after dinner that night and found out that on the square he proposed in, is the house The Haunted Mansion is based off of (my favorite Disney ride)! Photographs from the special day are in the Gallery :)
