We’ve known of each other since high school, walking the same halls but never sharing a conversation. Funny how life has a way of waiting for the right moment. Years later, that moment came - right next door. A chance run-in at Blake’s neighbor’s house (who, as fate would have it, are now our neighbors and dearest friends) brought us back into each other’s lives. I was the one who made the first move (thank you, Facebook DMs), though Blake still insists he asked me out first. We’ll call it a tie. We met in our hometown, fell in love in our hometown, and now we’re building a life here - with our sweet Ember girl by our side. It’s been a journey full of laughter, late-night talks, and quiet moments that made us certain: this is forever.
